Sydney: Australia captain Pat Cummins says that during the World Cup final (ODI World Cup Final) at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, as soon as Virat Kohli’s wicket fell, about one person was present on the field. There was such silence among the lakhs of spectators as if they were in a library. Australia won the ODI World Cup for the sixth time by defeating India by six wickets. Many believe that Kohli’s dismissal off Cummins’ ball was the decisive moment of the match.
Cummins told ‘The Age’, “After Kohli’s wicket fell in the final, we were standing in a circle when Steve Smith said listen to the crowd. We saw that one lakh Indians were completely silent. There was silence like a library. This moment will be remembered for a long time.” Later he told reporters, “It takes a lot of hard work to win a trophy. Winning titles in all formats shows what great coaches and players we have.”
He said, “This is not possible with 11 players. For this, 25 good players are required. This shows the strength of Australian cricket and also the hunger of the players to win.” Cummins, who has led Australia to the World Test Championship and ODI World Cup under his captaincy, said that despite the long season, his team is looking forward to the upcoming season, which will begin with the Test series against Pakistan from December 14.
