All downhill for India after great start by Rohit

The Indian captain has been leading the team from the front in this world tournament. He has been playing an aggressive brand of cricket all throughout the ODI World Cup 2023 and continued his momentum into this match as well. The right-hand batter made 47 off 31 with 4 fours and 3 sixes. 

After Rohit got out to Maxwell, however, Team India struggled to get going. Virat Kohli and KL Rahul struck up a decent partnership in the middle but that wasn't enough to take India to a defendable total. India posted just 240 runs on the board in the first innings. 

Coming onto chase Australia struggled a bit early on but once Travis Head and Marnus Labuschagne found the groove and as the pitch became easier to bat on, it was over for India. In the end, Australia won the match quite comfortably with 6 wickets and 42 balls to spare, thereby winning their 6th ODI World Cup title.
