Behind the Defeat: Unpacking the Five Misfortunes for India in the World Cup Final
This year’s World Cricket Championship final has triggered a range of mixed feelings, and those feelings do not seem to dissipate anytime soon. The final took place in Ahmedabad, at the Narendra Modi Stadium in front of almost 100,000 spectators. With this championship India broke all attendance records for a cricket world championship, with over 1.25 million fans visiting stadium stands across India during these six weeks. So there’s no need to talk about how India was the absolute favorite to win its third world championship title in front of their people, especially knowing that it won the last one 12 years ago.
Their opponent in the grand final was the five-time world champion, powerful Australia, which did not come to this championship as an underdog. Until that moment, India had a perfect record and everything was ready for the coronation where the Prime Minister was supposed to present the trophy to the nation's heroes, but to the great regret of many, that did not happen. Australia managed to stop India and take home the title of world champion in cricket. It is clear that things often do not go according to plan, so we have dedicated this article to those little things that have changed the fate of India and left them without the biggest title. In this text, we will talk about 5 key moments in which things went wrong in the most important match of the season.
