Pandya sends special message to the team
On the eve of the ICC World Cup 2023 final, India all-rounder Hardik Pandya sent a special message to his teammates, asking them to "bring the cup home".
After suffering an ankle injury in the league match against Bangladesh last month, Pandya had to withdraw from the remaining matches of the tourney for India. He had participated in the first four ODIs .
This is the second World Cup summit match between the two teams; the first was in South Africa in 2003, when Australia defeated India to win their third title and defend it.
But unlike the previous time, India is the only unbeaten side in this edition and goes into the summit match as the favourite.
Previous World Cup victories came from Australia in 1987, 1999, 2003, 2007, and 2015, and from India in 1983 and 2011.
