The day is here. India will take on Australia in the final of ICC World Cup 2023 on Sunday at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. The atmosphere here in India is a cocktail of emotions. One lot is confident, for dominant India have won all their matches in the ongoing World Cup on their home soil and Rohit Sharma’s Men are merely one step away from lifting the shining trophy. Another section of fans is simply anxious, for they have experienced the horrors and heartbreak of 2003 when Australia thrashed India.
“It’s either gonna be the best day of my life or i’m gonna be heartbroken for a long time,” wrote a cricket fan on microblogging site ‘X’.
