Anand Mahindra Expresses Nervousness as India Face Australia in ODI World Cup Final
The Indian cricket fans seem to be nervous as India takes on Australia in the ODI World Cup final at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. The Mahindra Group chairman, Anand Mahindra, also expressed his eagerness ahead of the match. The billionaire’s nervousness was palpable as he wrote on X, ‘No, no, I am not planning to watch the match (my service to the nation ??) But I will, indeed, be wearing this jersey and installing myself in a hermetically sealed chamber with no contact with the outside world until someone knocks and tells me we’ve won…’
As of today, October 4, 2023, India has played four ODI World Cup finals with two wins in hand. In 1983, India defeated West Indies by 43 runs to win their first ODI World Cup title while losing to Australia by 125 in 2003. In 2011, India won their second ODI World Cup defeating Sri Lanka by 6 wickets.

In the fourth final today, India has scored 142 runs so far with KL Rahul at 34 runs and Virat Kohli at 51 runs in the crease. The country has lost the wickets of Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, and Sreyas Iyer. Australia had won the toss and elected to bowl first. Though Captain Rohit Sharma started the innings with his aggressive style, losing wickets at regular intervals kept the Indian team on the backfoot.
The disciplined bowling and awesome fielding have given Australia an edge over India as of now.
