India take on Australia in the final of the Cricket World Cup 2023 at Narendra Modi stadium in Ahmedabad. History to be made today. If India win, they will clinch their third World Cup title and if Australia win, they will lift the trophy for the record-extending sixth time. It is not going to be easy for India, who have not lost a single match in this World Cup as Australia are a team who have played the finals more than anyone else and know a thing or two about winning the big matches.
Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have emerged as the beating hearts of India's cricket campaign, their blazing form setting the stage on fire. Rohit, the formidable opener, has been the catalyst for India's solid starts, accumulating over 500 runs, crafting innings that have laid a sturdy foundation for triumphs. His ability to seize control from the outset has been nothing short of sensational, injecting momentum and confidence into the team's pursuit.

On the other end of the spectrum, Virat Kohli, the epitome of consistency, has notched over 700 runs, etching his mark as the quintessential anchor. His composed yet commanding presence has been the bedrock upon which India's innings have flourished, guiding and steadying the ship through pivotal moments. His capability to pivot seamlessly between aggression and composure has been a sight to behold, elevating India's prospects in every match.
As the final showdown looms against Australia in Ahmedabad, the eyes of the cricketing world converge on these two stalwarts. Their unwavering form and unwritten synergy on the field paint a promising picture for India's quest for glory. Rohit's explosive starts and Virat's unwavering resolve stand as the linchpins to India's aspirations, embodying the nation's hopes for a triumphant finale.
The pitch is likely to be on the slower side, meaning the spinners will come into play big time in this final of the World Cup 2023. There is a good chance to earn points if you pick spinners in your fantasy team.
