With the Indian Cricket team going head-to-head with the Australian team in the ICC Men's World Cup 2023, an auto rickshaw driver in Chandigarh is supporting the team and boosting its morale in his own way. The auto-rickshaw driver, Anil Kumar, told news agency ANI that he will offer free rides to people for a total of five days if the 'Men In Blue' bring the Trophy home today.
"Our team is performing well. I will offer free rides for 5 days. India will win today," Kumar told ANI.
Thousands of starry-eyed cricket fans gathered on Sunday at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Gujarat's Ahmedabad to witness the final clash between India and Australia in this season of the World Cup.
Visuals posted by ANI showed the crowd outside the stadium early in the morning hours before the match. An enthusiastic fan told ANI, "Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli are going to hit centuries today and Mohammed Shami will take a fifer. He is in great form..."
The match is not going to be a piece of cake as Australia has proved its might several times in the World Cup but, fans are expecting Virat Kohli, skipper and hitman Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, and many others to hit spectacular boundaries back to back.
Indian bowlers have also proved their excellence in this season. Mohammed Shami alone took seven wickets against New Zealand in the Semi-Finals leading India to the finals. Jasprit Bumrah, Ravindra Jadeja, and Mohammed Siraj have also showcased amazing gameplay.
