World Cup 2023, Ind vs Aus: In a charged message to the crowd at Narendra Modi Stadium, Indian football team captain Sunil Chhetri rallied supporters to back the Men in Blue's bowlers as they defended a total of 240 against Australia in the ICC World Cup 2023 final. Australia's formidable bowling attack had earlier restricted India to a challenging score.

Australia showcased a stellar performance with tight and aggressive bowling, orchestrated by pacers Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, and Pat Cummins. The trio dismantled India's batting line-up early in the innings, despite promising contributions from skipper Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and KL Rahul.

Chhetri's Post-Innings Motivation

Expressing confidence in the Indian bowlers, Chhetri promptly took to social media after the innings to motivate the crowd. He urged every Indian supporter present to ensure that the bowlers were greeted with resounding cheers for every delivery. Acknowledging the team's commendable performance in the tournament, Chhetri called on the crowd to make the final unforgettable.

"To every Indian supporter in the stadium - make sure that our bowlers run up to a roar for every SINGLE BALL. This team has given us 10 flawless games. Let's give them an unforgettable one. Pull these boys over the line," Chhetri passionately wrote.

India Sets 241-run Target

Despite the formidable Australian bowling, Virat Kohli and KL Rahul's determined half-centuries powered India to a total of 240. As Australia aims to secure its sixth World Cup title, India is fervently chasing its third, having claimed victories in 1983 and 2011.
