Ahmedabad: 23 March 2003, that dark night of Johannesburg, in which Ricky Ponting’s Australian team won the ODI World Cup trophy for the third time by defeating the Indian team captained by Sourav Ganguly by 125 runs. Now Australia is world champion five times while India has won this trophy only twice. However, after 20 years everything has changed. Australia is no longer the same as before and neither is India’s weakness. The way the Indian team has won 10 out of 10 matches in a spectacular and dangerous manner, there is no weakness visible in it. Now India has a golden opportunity to match Australia and win the third World Cup trophy because the field is ours and the aspirations are also ours. In the 2003 final, Sourav Ganguly had won the toss and decided to bowl first, but if Rohit Sharma wins here, he can bat first. Then the pair of Adam Gilchrist and Matthew Hayden gave a great start to Australia and put 105 runs on the board in just 14 overs, but this time Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami will not allow Travis and David Warner to do so. After this, Australia made a record score of 359 runs, in which captain Ricky Ponting played an inning of 140 runs. It is expected that Kuldeep Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja will not allow Mitchell Marsh to come at number three. Then, while chasing the target, India lost the wicket of Sachin Tendulkar in the initial overs, after which the team could not recover from this blow. The entire team could not even play the full 50 overs and were out after scoring 234 runs in 39.2 overs. Virender Sehwag scored the highest score of 88 runs. This time Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill will give a strong start to India as both are in great form. Before the final, India had lost only one match in its campaign and that too against Australia. This time India has not lost a single match and has defeated Australia in the league round. This means that this time Rohit’s team has every chance to defeat Pat Cummins.
