Men's ODI WC: Lengthy Tail Came Back To Haunt India, Says Nasser Hussain
ODI World Cup: Former England captain Nasser Hussain believes India's lengthy tail came back to haunt them in the 2023 Men’s ODI World Cup final against Australia, forcing Virat Kohli and KL Rahul to be at the crease for a long time.
India were the pre-tournament favourites and won ten straight matches in the competition while playing in front of a passionate home crowd and in familiar conditions. But their invincible run came to an end when they lost to Australia by six wickets in Sunday’s final at Ahmedabad.
Kohli (54) shared a 67-run partnership with Rahul (66), but never got the acceleration, due to a combination of Australia’s tight bowling and fielding, as well as of the tail starting from number eight, mainly due to Hardik Pandya’s absence after being ruled out by a left ankle injury.
