This marks India‘s fourth appearance in a World Cup final, and notably, it’s their second encounter against Australia. Out of the last three times they reached the championship clash, India emerged victorious twice, with the lone defeat coming against… Australia. The iconic journey began in 1983 when India, against all odds, shocked the world by reaching their first World Cup final and went on to stun the mighty West Indies, claiming the coveted trophy. The 2003 final proved challenging as Ricky Ponting’s Australia proved too formidable for India. However, in 2011, India reached the summit clash once again, and under Dhoni’s captaincy, they clinched their second World Cup title, finishing it off “in style,” as described by Ravi Shastri. For a more detailed account, delve into the full story right here.

Intriguingly, both of these teams went on to capture the trophy by triumphing in 11 consecutive matches—an extraordinary achievement that India is aiming to emulate in their quest for cup glory.
