-
The Indian cricket team fell at the final hurdle in the Cricket World Cup 2023, losing the final to Australia at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday. Having gone unbeaten in the tournament until the final, Rohit Sharma 's men couldn't pass the final test, as their dream of lifting the trophy remained unfulfilled.
