India vs Australia is currently playing in the final of the ODI World Cup 2023. The Men in Blue after getting a good start are in trouble with 213/7 in 44 overs. Before the start of the match, Suryakiran Aerobatic Team of the Indian Air Force (IAF) performed an air display above the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad to kick off the World Cup final.

Suryakiran team members, who also took part in a practice show on the eve of the final, displayed some brilliant formations during the rehearsal and flew above the world’s largest cricket stadium. The Suryakiran Aerobatic Team, founded in 1996, is made up of highly qualified IAF pilots. There is a list of performers listed during the mid-innings musical stars like Pritam Chakraborty, Jonita Gandhi, Nakash Aziz, Amit Mishra, Akasa Singh, and Tushar Joshi. 500 dancers from Mumbai are also set to dance in the popular Bollywood songs.

The Men in Blue after being invited to bat first got off to a good start skipper Rohit Sharma played a blistering knock of 47 runs. Virat Kohli and KL Rahul stabilised the innings but the former was dismissed by 54 runs. The latter was back in the pavilion after scoring 66 runs off 107 balls.

India eyeing to set a defendable total

A fan managed to sneak past the security and stepped onto the pitch in the 14th over. The fan wore a “Stop Bombing Palestine” t-shirt and carried a Palestine flag. His mask even had the Palestinian flag on it. The fan made it to the field and hugged Virat Kohli. The Kangaroo pacers have bowled brilliantly in the final and looked in good rhythm. With the dew coming into the game India would love to score 250 at least for their bowlers to defend it.

The pitch has behaved slowly with the spinners will come into play in the second innings. Pat Cummins’s side has performed like five-time champions and they would love to win it for the sixth time in India. Mitchell Starc has picked up three wickets.
