November 19, 2023, is a day that most Indian cricket fans would rather forget, as it is increasingly being referred to as the “Black Day” in Indian cricket history. On this day, Pat Cummins and his Australian team, in their yellow jerseys, did exactly what they had promised, silencing over 100,000 Indian spectators at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad by defeating Rohit Sharma’s India to claim the 2023 ODI World Cup.
India, who entered the final as the overwhelming favorites due to their 10-match winning streak in the tournament, had everything going in their favour. It seemed like the stars had aligned for India , from Mohammed Shami destroying world-class opposition batters to Virat Kohli scoring back-to-back centuries. Additionally, no host nation had lost an ODI World Cup final since 2011, and India had been the team to start the trend by winning the 2011 World Cup. But this time, the trend was broken as India lost to Australia in the 2023 final.
Since that day, it has become widely regarded as a “Black Day” in Indian cricket. See what people’s reactions are as it’s a 1-year anniversary of the November 19, 2023 final.
