Experiencing a heartbreaking moment, the Indian cricket team, led by Rohit Sharma, narrowly missed the chance of clinching the Cricket World Cup 2023 trophy, as they succumbed to a defeat against Australia in the final. A recent video circulating on social media captures Virat Kohli’s reaction after India’s loss.
Throughout the tournament hosted on home soil, India displayed dominance by securing victories in 10 consecutive matches, defeating every participating team. With this impressive run, they entered the final as favourites for the title.
Star batsman Virat Kohli played a pivotal role during the campaign, amassing 765 runs and emerging as the top scorer with an outstanding average of 95.62. This included three centuries and six half-centuries, and Kohli made history by surpassing Sachin Tendulkar’s record of the most runs (673) in a single ODI World Cup edition.
Virat Kohli’s disappointment was evident:
Despite Kohli’s Player of the Tournament performance, India’s dreams were shattered in the final against Australia. The disappointment was evident on Kohli’s face as Travis Head and Pat Cummins led Australia to victory.
Batting first, India posted a total of 240 runs in their allotted 50 overs. Australia, guided by Travis Head’s aggressive batting, successfully chased the target of 241 with six wickets and seven overs to spare.
As the Australian team hit the winning runs, the Indian players appeared dejected. Kohli, walking towards his teammates, couldn’t conceal his sadness. In a moment of disappointment, Kohli removed his cap and dislodged the bails. A fan recently shared a video on Instagram, providing a glimpse of Kohli’s reaction at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad after the final.
