Under the shimmering lights of the Motera Stadium in Ahmedabad, a vibrant sea of blue engulfs the stands, a pulsating testament to the ardent passion of 130,000 crazy cricket fans.
The presence of India’s Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, adds to the electrifying atmosphere and an illustrious gathering of cricket legends, including a constellation of former World Cup-winning captains.
The upcoming final marks a significant milestone in cricketing history, as it will be the first time India and Australia have faced each other in a World Cup final since 2003.
That match, held in South Africa, saw Australia emerge victorious by 125 runs, and Indian fans will be eager to avenge that defeat and bring the World Cup trophy back home.
Aussie skipper Pat Cummins on playing a World Cup final in front of a partisan crowd of 100,000+, “We play over here in India a lot so the noise is not something new – yeah, I think on this scale it’s probably bigger than we would have experienced before but it’s not something totally foreign to what we’ve had before.
Everyone deals with it slightly differently. You see Davey [Warner] probably dancing and winning the crowd over, other guys just staying in their own bubble – yeah it should be good.”
