ICC World Cup 2023 Final, Ind vs Aus, Hardik Pandya News: Team India could not convert its explosive start in ICC World Cup 2023 into a victory in the final. Still, the Indian cricket team has done incredible in this tournament. In the league stage of this World Cup, India did not lose a single match and achieved a big victory against New Zealand in the semi-final as well. However, the Men in Blue lost against Australia in the final match.
With the defeat of India, not only the team but also the hearts of crores of Indians, who were continuously supporting India for the last 6 weeks, broke. Fans were celebrating every victory in this World Cup. Meanwhile, with every victory, the hope of millions of Indians was also increasing that India could win the World Cup again this year.

However, it did not happen. Team India got a major setback in the World Cup 2023 in the form of Hardik Pandya who was injured and ruled out of this World Cup.
"What difference does one player's absence make?" This is an obvious question but a player like Hardik Pandya is not just a player as he is an all-rounder who is as good with the bat as he is with the bowling.
Along with this, Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad is Hardik Pandya's home ground during IPL and he has played a lot of cricket there. Because of this, his absence in the middle of a World Cup was a big blow for the team.
If you look at India's playing XI for the final match — Rohit Sharma (c), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (wicket), Suryakumar Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammad Shami, Jasprit Bumrah, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammad Siraj — there was only one all-rounder available i.e. Ravindra Jadeja. Meanwhile, if Hardik Pandya had been playing instead of Suryakumar Yadav, the result might have been different.
However, these are all post-match discussions. The bitter reality is that India lost the World Cup 2023 when it seemed that it could have been undefeated throughout the tournament.
