The real challenge for India was always going to be how they fared in the knockouts. They cleared the semifinal hurdle unlike in 2015 and 2019. But on the big day, Australia were right on the money while the Indians had a game to forget.
The Indian head coach was tight-lipped about his future.
The Indian skipper said the surface got better to bat under lights without using it as an excuse for their poor show in the final.
Head became the third Australian after Ricky Ponting and Adam Gilchrist to score a ton in a World Cup final.
'We understand the importance of what Australia can do. They are a very complete side,' said the Indian captain on the eve of the World Cup final.
Cummins' photo went viral on social media claiming that the Australian skipper might want to keep it as proof if the strip gets changed on the match day.
The Australian captain feels the wicket for the final will be a bit more high scoring than the semifinal against South Africa in Kolkata.
Australia will have to deal with boisterous Indian fans, who will be egging on Rohit Sharma and his team on Sunday.
There is absolutely nothing to choose between the two teams ahead of the final. It will all come down to who plays better on the big day.
It couldn't be confirmed if the track to be used for the final is a used one or a fresh surface.
