If these top batsmen of India had done a little better from the beginning, maybe this match would not have been in their hands like this. Moreover, if KL Rahul had not played like he did in the Tests, India might have been bowled out by fewer runs. Kl Rahul batted well but if his opponent batsman could have supported him, he would have tried to do better but he didn't. It is true that KL Rahul was given a target of 240 runs, if he had batted worse India might have had fewer runs. A powerhouse like Australia cannot be held back with a target of 241 runs as they have won the World Cup five times before. They have enough experience of Australia's final matches that they know how to put India under pressure and beat them. But it was unfortunate that the gallery-packed India fans, who had been cheering a lot from the start, fell silent after the loss.
Well, you can not pick a single person for the loss. The idea was right from Kohli and Rahul. First, built a partnership as they did against the same opposition in Chennai, but they failed this time due to the slowness of the pitch. Yes, the pitch was slow, but if Indian batters played with intent and put the pressure back on Aussies bowlers, they might have a chance. SKY disappointed me the most. It was an ideal stage for him to play a knock of his life, but he failed.
I think the BCCI should have picked a better pitch for the final because if this was a batting pitch like Mumbai, the result could have been different. Australia ticked every box in the final. They had a pan ready for every player, and Cummins was absolutely clear about his role as a captain. India choked under pressure again.
