<p>Talking about India's journey, the Rohit Sharma-led Men in Blue have won all their ten games and are favourites to end with the title.

<p>Ahead of the marquee World Cup 2023 final between India and Australia in Ahmedabad, Mohammed Shami’s mother, Anjum Ara, was taken to the doctor after complaining of dizziness for a few days. Shami’s mother, along with other members of the family, was supposed to watch Shami play the World Cup final live from the Narendra Modi Cricket Stadium but had to stay back to see the doctor. However, per the latest reports, Shami’s elder brother, Haseeb and his family travelled to the gigantic stadium to watch the final.</p>

<p>Shami’s mother was said to be feeling unwell because of anxiety for a few days and went to see the doctor for a routine check-up on the day of the World Cup final. However, it remains unconfirmed whether she was admitted to the hospital or not.</p>

<h2>Mother’s best wishes for son</h2>

<p>Although Shami’s mother couldn’t attend the final, she sent her best wishes to her son, who had already taken this tournament by storm. In a video shared by ANI on social media (X), Shami’s mother said her son had made India proud with his stellar show in this tournament and hopes he helps his team bring the coveted trophy home.</p>

<p>“He is making the country proud. May the almighty make him successful so that he can bring the World Cup home,” Anjum told ANI.</p>

Ind vs Aus Final - World Cup 2023: Australia lost 3 early wickets

<p>Australia pacer Mitchell Starc has revealed that the team planned for the slow and dry pitch on play during&nbsp;the World Cup final against India at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Australian speedsters managed to pick up seven wickets during the innings, skittling India for a below-par 240-run total.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Speaking at the mid-innings show, Starc said Australia were prepared for the slow deck. Despite getting hit for 80-odd runs in the powerplay, Australian bowlers roared back and kept the powerful Indian batting lineup in check.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Yes, I think we planned for things. We were terrific with the ball and now off to the batters. There is not much in the wicket for the seam bowlers," Starc told host broadcaster Star Sports.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"So, we put in the hard yards. Patty (Pat Cummins) was good and Josh (Hazlewood) was great and the spinners bowled well. We bowled second against England and there was dew and so&nbsp;no hope of reverse swing," he added.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Australian pace bowlers exploited the conditions well by getting the white ball to reverse swing. Indian lower order was demolished by the reverse swing bowling from Starc, Josh Hazlewood and Pat Cummins.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"I think it's not an easy wicket. Dew or no dew you have to apply yourselves and score the runs. This is the World Cup, it is about how much you want it. The new ball will be the key as it's easy to score when the ball is harder. Let's see and we are up for it to chase this down," concluded the fast bowler.</p>

World Cup 2023: Mitchell Starc reveals how Australia bundled out India for 240 in final

<p>India slumped to another low after Mitchell Starc sent batter KL Rahul to the pavilion with more than eight overs to spare. Rahul, who had been holding the innings together after Australia applied the chokehold, departed while playing a reverse swinging delivery from the left-armer.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In the 42nd over with the scoreboard reading 203, Rahul was setting up the innings with Suryakumar Yadav at the other end. However, with the ball reverse swinging in the last few overs, captain pat Cummins introduced his strike bowler into the attack.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Starc started the over by coming from over the wicket but quickly changed it to around the wicket. As soon as he changed the angle, the ball started playing tricks. The seamer bowled a good length ball on the sixth stump line that nipped around before and after pitching, forcing Rahul to play at it.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The Indian batter went feeling for it and the ball took the outside edge which was safely pouched by Josh Inglis behind the stumps.</p>

<p><strong>India vs Australia</strong><br />

Put into bat first by Australia, India were off to a brisk start, courtesy of a solid 47-run innings from Rohit Sharma. However, the wheels started coming by the 11th over when India lost three wickets.&nbsp;</p>

<p>From thereon, India got no momentum by their side as Australia applied the squeeze with India scoring only two boundaries between 11th to 42nd over.&nbsp;</p>

<p>As of the last update, India had lost eight wickets with more than five overs to spare.&nbsp;</p>

India slumped to another low after Mitchell Starc sent batter KL Rahul to the pavilion with more than eight overs to spare. Rahul, who had been holding the innings together after Australia applied the chokehold, departed while playing a reverse swinging delivery from the left-armer.

India slumped to another low after Mitchell Starc sent batter KL Rahul to the pavilion with more than eight overs to spare. Rahul, who had been holding the innings together after Australia applied the chokehold, departed while playing a reverse swinging delivery from the left-armer. In the 42nd over with the scoreboard reading 203, Rahul was setting up the innings with Suryakumar Yadav at the other end. However, with the ball reverse swinging in the last few overs, captain pat Cummins introduced his strike bowler into the attack. Starc started the over by coming from over the wicket but quickly changed it to around the wicket. As soon as he changed the angle, the ball started playing tricks. The seamer bowled a good length ball on the sixth stump line that nipped around before and after pitching, forcing Rahul to play at it. The Indian batter went feeling for it and the ball took the outside edge which was safely pouched by Josh Inglis behind the stumps.

World Cup 2023, WATCH: KL Rahul perishes to Mitchell Starc's reverse swing, India slump

<p>Indian captain Rohit Sharma ended his World Cup campaign with a brisk 47-run knock against Australia at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday afternoon. Throughout the tournament, Rohit's intent at the start has allowed India to set the game beautifully and now a video from before the start of the tournament&nbsp;reveals the mindset that the Indian captain had cultivated.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>In the video, Rohit said it doesn't matter if he gets a century, the important part is that the team should win the tournament.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Even if I don't get a hundred or two but we should win the World Cup. This is my main goal. My century doesn't matter (Bhale hi mera ek hundred lage ya do lage ya lage he nahi, lekin World Cup jeetna hai hame. Ye main goal hai. Mera 100 ho ya iska ho ya uska ho usse koi fark nahi padta)," said Rohit in an <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npV_fpQLJ38">interview </a>to YouTuber Vimal Kumar.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Although Rohit ended the tournament with a single century, his starts have been the cornerstone of India's dominant campaign. On a sluggish Ahmedabad pitch that might slow down later, Rohit looked at ease, up until the dismissal.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Recounting the obsession of the fans to equate situations with the past, Rohit said despite his five centuries, the team crashed out of the tournament in the last edition.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"We have habit of expecting what happened last time to happen this time as well. It should have been done like this. It should have been done like that. I scored five centuries in 2019 Cricket World Cup but we lost in the semi-finals. We don't want that to happen again. So everything should not happen like Cricket World Cup 2019," he added.&nbsp;</p>

World Cup 2023: 'My century doesn't matter', Rohit's comment surfaces after his 47 in WC final

Ind vs Aus Final - World Cup 2023: India six down with just 200 runs

<p><meta name="uuid" content="uuid2BoaD6JdEdkA" /><meta charset="utf-8" /></p>

<p>The ongoing India vs Australia ODI World Cup final in Ahmedabad was interrupted briefly in the first innings when a pitch invader, supporting Palestine in the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict,&nbsp;stormed across the turf and attempted to hug Virat Kohli.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The incident transpired during the 14th over of the match when the fan, giving the security cordon a slip, managed to reach Kohli. Images and videos on social media showed the man wearing a white T-shirt with the caption "Stop bombing Palestine" written on the front while "free Palestine" on the back. He was also carrying what seemed like a Pride flag while wearing a&nbsp;face mask that had a Palestinian flag on it.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>The fan waltzed across the ground when Kohli was batting with KL Rahul after India lost three wickets within the first 11 overs.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The security members chased the man and managed to remove him from Kohli and take him out of the park. According to reports, the local police have arrested the man for breach of security.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Not the first instance&nbsp;</strong></h2>

<p>Notably, this is the second instance when a pitch invader has interrupted the game between these two sides in the World Cup. During the opening game at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, notorious pitch invader Daniel Jarvis, also known as Jarvo 69, sauntered across the playing arena, dressed in the Indian jersey.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The repeat offender managed to make his way onto the playing turf and interacted with former Indian skipper Virat Kohli. While Jarvo 69 talked to Kohli, the security personnel arrived and escorted him out of the ground.</p>

<h2><strong>India vs Australia</strong></h2>

<p>Australian captain Pat Cummins won the toss in the big final and offered the hosts to bat first. India were off the blocks in fine fashion once again, courtesy of Rohit Sharma. However, Shubman Gill failed on the big stage, miscuing a pull straight down to Adam Zampa at mid-on.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Sharma continued his onslaught but was brought down by a stunning catch from Travis Head while backtracking from backward point position. Shreyas Iyer could not last long either as India were reduced to 81 for 3 in 11 overs.&nbsp;</p>

<p>As of the last update, the pair of Kohli-Rahul had failed to get a boundary for more than 10 overs.&nbsp;</p>

He was also carrying what seemed like a Pride flag while wearing a face mask that had a Palestinian flag on it. #ICCCricketWorldCup | Security breach during the India versus Australia ICC World Cup 2023 Final match, in Ahmedabad after a spectator entered the field to meet Virat Kohli pic.twitter.com/ZuvXlHMWp0 — ANI (@ANI) November 19, 2023 × The fan waltzed across the ground when Kohli was batting with KL Rahul after India lost three wickets within the first 11 overs. The security members chased the man and managed to remove him from Kohli and take him out of the park. According to reports, the local police have arrested the man for breach of security. Not the first instance Notably, this is the second instance when a pitch invader has interrupted the game between these two sides in the World Cup. During the opening game at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, notorious pitch invader Daniel Jarvis, also known as Jarvo 69, sauntered across the playing arena, dressed in the Indian jersey. The repeat offender managed to make his way onto the playing turf and interacted with former Indian skipper Virat Kohli. While Jarvo 69 talked to Kohli, the security personnel arrived and escorted him out of the ground. India vs Australia Australian captain Pat Cummins won the toss in the big final and offered the hosts to bat first. India were off the blocks in fine fashion once again, courtesy of Rohit Sharma. However, Shubman Gill failed on the big stage, miscuing a pull straight down to Adam Zampa at mid-on. Sharma continued his onslaught but was brought down by a stunning catch from Travis Head while backtracking from backward point position. Shreyas Iyer could not last long either as India were reduced to 81 for 3 in 11 overs. As of the last update, the pair of Kohli-Rahul had failed to get a boundary for more than 10 overs. Playing XIs: India: Rohit Sharma (c), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (wk), Suryakumar Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammed Shami, Jasprit Bumrah, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Siraj Australia: Travis Head, David Warner, Mitchell Marsh, Steven Smith, Marnus Labuschagne, Glenn Maxwell, Josh Inglis (wk), Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins (c), Adam Zampa, Josh Hazlewood

<p>Former Australia legend and India Coach Greg Chappell doesn’t feel the ODI format is under any pressure amidst the general narrative around its demise with the growing culture of the franchise-based T20 leagues. With the world waiting for the India vs Australia World Cup 2023 final to get underway, Greg feels the aftermath of this tournament falls in favour of ODI cricket.</p>

<p>“ODI cricket is alive and throbbing, not just thriving, and by many metrics, this tournament has been very successful. After Sunday, there will be some withdrawal symptoms felt by cricket fans the world over,” Greg Chappell told Cricbuzz.&nbsp;</p>

<p>On Australia’s chances of topping India in a rather unlikely event, given how good a form the hosts are in, Chappell said the Aussies need to find something extra special from within themselves if they were to walk out as winners.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"It will be up to this highly cohesive Australian team to find something really extra-special from within themselves, if they are to make it their sixth win in eight World Cup finals -- a phenomenal record," Chappell said.</p>

<p>"The fear of Virat Kohli to become the first man to score 50 centuries in ODI cricket is nothing short of fantastic," Chappell said. "The fact that he surpassed The Little Master to achieve the feat puts the magnitude of the performance into perspective."</p>

<p>Heading into the final, India would again bank on its star-studded batting order, including Kohli, to pull off a stellar performance one last time and help team India lift the third world title.</p>

The 2023 Cricket World Cup final between India and Australia is just a day away. The two Rivals are all set to lock horns at the Narendra Modi stadium in Ahmedabad. Sports editor Digvijay Singh Deo is at the venue and he spoke to WION's Esha Hanspal about the preparations for the big clash.

ODI WC final match between India and Australia will take place on Sunday

<p>Captain Rohit Sharma has credited head coach Rahul Dravid for India’s unprecedented and unparalleled run in the World Cup 2023. Having won all the 10 straight matches thus far in the tournament, the Indian Team looks determined to bury the past demons to claim their third World Cup trophy, this time for the veteran ‘The Wall’.</p>

<p>Speaking highly of Dravid, who had been at the helm of things since taking up the job in 2021, Rohit said the coach is the main reason behind a relaxed dressing room environment, which eventually brought the best out of each player in this tournament.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Rohit added that Dravid’s presence has had a massive impact in terms of having clarity and everyone performing to their granted roles.</p>

<p>Like how the 2011 batch won the World Cup for the legendary Sachin Tendulkar, Rohit said it's time this team does the job for Rahul Dravid for what he did for this outfit since his arrival.

<p>Former England World Cup-winning captain Eoin Morgan is not ready to discount Australia in the grand finale against India on Sunday, knowing what they can do in the high-pressure games. Morgan, who had been on the receiving end (against the Aussies) several times during his playing days, is aware of their capability of turning the tables around when it matters the most.</p>

<p>Considering several parameters, India is entering the contest as the favourite to lift the coveted crown. However, Morgan feels with Australia mastering the art of absorbing pressure, which is their hallmark, a belief to cause perhaps the greatest upset in recent history would be there within the camp. &nbsp;</p>

<p>“As the only team capable of halting India's unbeaten streak, Australia's ability to perform under pressure is their hallmark. Their well-drilled team, developed across all three formats, exudes a belief and confidence unique to their cricketing culture,” Morgan wrote in his exclusive column for the ICC.</p>

<p>Having led England to their maiden World Cup title four years ago in a contest dubbed by many the most-tensed at this level, Morgan knows how emotions can alter momentum on such days.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The now-retired veteran batter and the captain said despite Australia entering the contest as underdogs, they would sense the opportunity to play out of their skin to beat a formidable Indian Team.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“Emotions will run high on the final day, with Australia embracing the underdog label and India carrying the weight of 1.3 billion fans on their shoulders,” Morgan stated.</p>

<p>“Australia's sense of opportunity, fuelled by their proven ability to perform under pressure, makes them formidable opponents,” Morgan added.</p>

<h2>Australia’s road to the final</h2>

<p>The former five-time winners lost to India and South Africa in their first two matches but completed a turn-around by winning their remaining seven games in the league stage.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Though most of their contested matches reflected their attitude and players’ stomach for a fight, Australia’s perhaps mightiest World Cup win came over Afghanistan. After getting reduced to 91 for seven in the chase of 292, Glenn Maxwell and Captain Pat Cummins stitched a world record 200-plus run-stand for the eighth wicket to see the side through.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Maxwell completed his maiden double century to help Australia pull off one of the best run-chases ever watched.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, in the semis against South Africa, Australia found themselves in trouble in the second innings, with wickets falling at regular intervals.

IN PICS - ODI World Cup 2023: BCCI releases details of performances during IND VS AUS final

<p>Crossing Rs 300 crore globally <em>Tiger 3</em> is earning well at the box office. A week after the release of the film, the makers hosted a fan event in Mumbai with the lead cast of the movie, Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif, and Emraan Hashmi, in attendance.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
During the event, Salman, Katrina, and Emraan get&nbsp;candid with the fans and media present at the venue. Several videos from the event show Salman and Katrina dancing to the tunes of ''Leke Prabhu Ka Naam'', Salman kissing Emran, his witty answers, and other things.<br />
<br />
At the fun-filled event, the megastar also spoke about the fractured release on Diwali Day, and then the film took his career's best opening. Released on the big festive date, the film went on to leave an indelible mark with its collection figures and emerged as the highest Diwali opener ever. Notably, the movie's box office collection has been affected by the World Cup matches.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Addressing the same, Khan said that he wishes the best to the Indian team for the final match and hopes that the audience will return to the theatre after the World Cup is over.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Actually, it’s amazing that even after the World Cup match and India was scoring well and won all the matches, we entered during this time. And our collections are really good. Inshallah, India will win the match tomorrow. And I want my fans to return to theatres after the World Cup is over," Salman said.<br />
<br />
The cricket World Cup final between India and Australia will be played on Sunday (Nov 19) &nbsp;at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Released on the day of Diwali, the film has so far performed well at the box office; however, the movie has seen a dip in numbers this week.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The third film of the franchise hit the Rs 100 crore (Rs 1 billion) mark at the domestic box office on the first weekend of its release. On Monday, the movie earned Rs 57.52 crore (Rs 570 million), and on Tuesday, it grossed Rs 44.5 crore (Rs 440 million).&nbsp;<br />

<strong>Tiger 3 review</strong></p>

<p>WION's Shomini Sen wrote that despite the elaborate action sequence, the film lacked the thrills. Praising Shah Rukh Khan's cameo, Sen wrote, "Tiger 3's high point is the banter between the two Khans amid fighting the Pakistani army and shielding themselves from crashing helicopters and machetes."&nbsp;<br />
<br />
"Tiger 3 has the elements of a typical Bollywood actioner but perhaps its release is not well timed. It comes in the same year when people are still reeling under the blitzkrieg of Pathaan and Jawan, where SRK has already done something similar - saved humanity and made India proud. And so Tiger 3 gives you a sense of deja vu," she further wrote. <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/news-tiger-3-review-salman-khans-latest-is-not-as-sharp-as-its-prequels-657767">Read here.</a></p>
