1. ODI World Cup Final 2023
The latest big loss of the Indian team has hurt them the most. In front of a packed house at the Narendra Modi stadium in Ahmedabad, India failed to win the ODI World Cup 2023 final against Australia. India managed to score only 240 runs in their 50 overs in the match. Shubman Gill was dismissed early in the innings, which set the tone for the match for the visiting side. from there, everything they touched seemed to turn gold on the big day.
Australia chased down the target with 6 wickets in hand. Dhawan was dearly missed by the Indian team. The Southpaw had a very good record against Australia. Given his record in the big tournaments, one would have expected him to perform well. Given the bad performance of Gill in the final, the thought process in hindsight would be about having an experienced batter in the squad, who could have helped the team to succeed on the big day with his batting.
