Millions of Indians cry in their hearts, 'Hexa' won by Australia

Has anyone spread poison in the blue sea of one hundred and thirty thousand people in Ahmedabad? Who knows! Or why all the voices will be blocked. Why won't Motera burst into shouts and cheers?

Why the Blue Festival will not be held at Narendra Modi Stadium. The answer seems to be known to you by now - India could not win the World Cup.

The festival city is now Sydney. Melbourne-Adelaide-Perth is thousands of kilometers away from Ahmedabad. Or the current wave of joy across Australia. Now it's time to celebrate their 'hexa' meaning sixth World Cup win. They defeated India by six wickets in the Cricket World Cup final on Sunday. The hero Travis Head scored a century there.

People walking along Marine Drive in Mumbai are sad now, maybe the same is the situation in Kolkata New Market. Dharamshala's mountain magic is sad today? Probably the same by the sea in Chennai. But today the color was supposed to be light.

But today Narendra Modi Stadium was supposed to be colorful. Rohit Kohli didn't have to stop at Wankhede in Mumbai through nine cities; They did not lose a single match. They had to stop at a place where all the preparations for the Blue Festival were over. Now perhaps Rohit is raising his head in the sky and asking one question over and over again - why is nature so cruel!

When Pat Cummins celebrates with champagne in hand, he may be relieved. Pacer, captaincy can do? In answer to such a question, he may be able to hang a World Cup picture somewhere.

 

However, the light of all this was found during the batting of India who lost the toss. A dominant, powerful batting line-up returns with Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood in front. They bowled such balls knowing the pitch well, most of the Indian batsmen could not find an answer.

It started with Shubman Gill. Starc was caught by Adam Jumper at mid-on while pulling. Having to make his way to the dressing room with angry eyes, he scored 4 runs off 7 balls. Which could have been earlier. He was caught at slip before making any runs, only to survive because he did not carry the ball.

The loss of Gill was compounded after Rohit Sharma also dropped back into the power play. While picking up Maxwell, he delivered the ball a bit high, Travis Head took a brilliant catch by running and leaping from cover. He probably changed the fate of the match with this catch before and after the bat. However, Australia's run was still good, they scored 80 runs in 10 overs.

Rahul Dravid, sitting in the dug-out in India after Shreyas Iyer's dismissal, probably remembers 2003 again and again. He was a cricketer, who lost the World Cup final to Australia. Now he is the coach, will it still be the same? After losing three wickets for 81 runs, it is not unusual to have that concern.

But then Lokesh Rahul and Virat Kohli gave him some relief. Virat Kohli scored a half-century in the gap between these two. This batsman, who played a great game throughout the World Cup, was on the way to 800 runs, and no one else has even 600.

But Kohli had to stop speechless. Pat Cummins announced his wish the day before, he wants to "silence" 130,000 people. After getting Kohli out, he also got the real feeling. Kohli was dismissed for 54 runs off 63 balls, breaking his partnership of 67 runs with Rahul.
