(Watch) Virat Kohli unseen clip after the heartbreaking loss against Australia in the World Cup Final.
The year 2023 will be etched in memory as India showcased a commanding performance in the ICC Cricket World Cup. Under the leadership of Rohit Sharma, the team displayed dominance by securing ten consecutive victories during the league stages. Despite this stellar run, their quest for the trophy was thwarted in the final against Australia at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, marking a missed opportunity to break their decade-long ICC trophy drought.
A widely circulated clip from the World Cup final captures the jubilant Australian team celebrating their sixth title, while a visibly dejected Virat Kohli stands behind them, expressing his frustration by whipping the bails with his cap. This video has gained traction on social media, amplifying the disappointment of India’s World Cup loss.
Virat Kohli’s individual performance in the tournament was noteworthy, contributing three centuries and six half-centuries in 11 innings. The 35-year-old batsman achieved a significant milestone during Match 37 against South Africa at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata, where he equaled Sachin Tendulkar’s record for the most ODI hundreds (49). Kohli further surpassed this feat with a stellar innings of 117 (113) against New Zealand in the first semi-final at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, solidifying his place in the record books.
