In a candid revelation, Australian captain Pat Cummins has shared his most cherished moment since clinching the World Cup, highlighting Virat Kohli’s wicket during the final as the pinnacle. The World Cup showdown between India and Australia unfolded at the grand Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, witnessed by an impressive gathering of over one lakh Indian cricket enthusiasts.
The hushed anticipation among the crowd when Pat Cummins dismissed Virat Kohli created an indelible memory for cricket fans present at the venue. Reflecting on the World Cup 2023, Cummins expressed that, even in his later years, the moment of securing Kohli’s wicket in the final would persist as the best of his life.
Adding an intriguing anecdote, Cummins revealed, “After Virat Kohli’s wicket, we went to the barriers, and then Steve Smith said, ‘Everybody be quiet for a second and realize this place is as quiet as a library right now.’ 1 lakh Indian fans were very quiet. I will always remember that moment.”
Despite initial skepticism about Pat Cummins’ decision to bowl after winning the toss in the World Cup final, Australia emerged triumphant by restricting India to 240 runs. The team’s resounding victory by 6 wickets secured their sixth world championship title.
