Sachin Tendulkar Pens Down A Heartfelt Message After India's Loss To Australia In The World Cup Final
India suffered a heartbreaking defeat against Australia in the finals of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023. Australia chased down the 241-run target set by the Men In Blues with 42 balls to spare. Travis Head coasted Australia to a famous win with his knock of 137 runs. With this win, Australia is now a six-time World Champion and the most successful cricket nation in the history of the game.
This was the second instance when Australia went past India in the finals of an ODI World Cup. The first one came back in 2003 when Australia led by Ricky Ponting hammered India in the finals of the 2003 World Cup. Indian legend Sachin Tendulkar tweeted a heartfelt message in support of the Indian team after the loss in the finals.
???Congratulations to Australia on their sixth World Cup win. On the most important day of the biggest stage, they played better cricket. Hard luck Team India, just one bad day in an otherwise sterling tournament can be heartbreaking. I can imagine the agony of the players, fans and well-wishers and what they must be going through. Losses are a part of the sport but let us remember that this unit gave their all for us throughout the tournament,??? stated Sachin Tendulkar.
