Expressing his ecstasy after the victory, Cummins acknowledged that the team saved their best for the final game, stating, “I think we saved our best for last. Couple of big match players stood up, and we’re pretty stuffed. We’ve been batting first pretty much for the whole tournament. Today we thought, it’s a good night to chase down, we thought it might actually get a little bit easier. Everyone was pretty keen to get out there. This year will be remembered for a long, long time, and we had a lot of success over the winter, and this one peaks it all. At the top of the mountain.”

In the World Cup final, India posted a score of 240 in 50 overs, with notable contributions from skipper Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and KL Rahul.

The focus now shifts to a five-match T20I series between the World Cup finalists, set to commence on Thursday in Visakhapatnam, as the cricketing excitement continues.
