India's batting talisman Virat Kohli ended the ICC World Cup 2023 campaign as the Player of the Tournament and leading run-scorer of the marquee event. The 36-year-old ended his ODI World Cup 2023 journey as the leading run-scorer of this prestigious tournament with a total of 765 runs. Kohli scored 54 runs off 63 deliveries in the final against the triumphant Australian team at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday. However, he had a fantastic campaign overall, with three tonnes and six half-centuries at an average of 101.57 and a strike rate of 90.69. The former India captain had a great tournament on all fronts, first equaling and then passing Sachin Tendulkar to become the player with the most ODI hundreds (50). Last Wednesday, the 35-year-old repeated that feat in the crucial semi-final match against New Zealand at Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium. On October 8, the batter began the tournament with a critical 85 in the team's first match against Australia in Chen...

Veteran India pacer Mohammed Shami has been India's go-to bowler in Cricket World Cup 2023, where he is currently the top wicket-taker with 23 scalps to his name across six matches at an economy of 5.01. His heroics include three five-wicket hauls and a a four-for. Shami grabbed seven wickets in the semifinal against New Zealand in Mumbai on Tuesday. The right-arm pacer was not picked in the playing XI in India's first four matches in the tournament, but once he made a cut after an unfortunately injury to all-rounder Hardik Pandya , the pace sensation never looked back. "India always had match-winners on the bench. I won't say Hardik's injury was a blessing in disguise, but everyone was waiting to see how Shami would perform, and the way he has set the stage on fire has been outstanding. I feel if anyone deserves the Player of the Tournament award, it's Mohammed Shami," Yuvraj told Sports Tak . India's head coach Rahul Dravid came agonisingly close...

India are unbeaten in the tournament, having won all of their 10 matches so far, including a 70-run triumph agaisnt New Zealand in the semi-final. Australia, on the other hand, have turned their fortunes after losing their first two games of the group stage. The Pat Cummins -led side defeated South Africa in the second semi-final on Thursday, setting up a final date against Rohit Sharma and his men. Earlier this year, Australia all-rounder Mitchell Marsh had predicted that his team will make it to the final and beat India on their soil. Marsh had made a bizzare prediction that Australia will score 450/2 in the final, and bowl India out for 65 to lift the title. With Australia entering the final after a hard-fought win over the Proteas, Marsh's prediction has ...
