In a disappointing turn of events, Team India suffered a defeat against Australia in the ODI World Cup 2023 final on Sunday, ending their unbeaten streak. India’s struggle to free their arms on a slow pitch in Ahmedabad resulted in a modest total of 240 runs, with Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and KL Rahul failing to score many boundaries. Meanwhile, Australia’s batters found it easier to play on the pitch, with Travis Head scoring a magnificent century to help his team win their sixth ODI World Cup.
Following this loss, there are speculations about the future of Rahul Dravid as head coach of the Indian Cricket Team. Reports suggest that his tenure may come to an end with this defeat, and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is expected to make an announcement soon regarding the next head coach.
As India prepares to move forward, they will face Australia in a five-match T20I series starting from November 23, just four days after the World Cup final. The first match of the series will be held in Visakhapatnam on Thursday.
The coming days will reveal the fate of the Indian Cricket Team and the coaching staff, as decisions about the team’s leadership and future strategies are made.
