Australian all-rounder Mitchell Marsh was allegedly seen disrespecting the coveted World Cup trophy on November 19th (Sunday) after a convincing six-wicket victory over India in Ahmedabad. In a picture that surfaced on social media, the West Australian was seen keeping his feet on the trophy and copped criticism from the netizens.

Marsh, who was also part of Australia's 2015 World Cup-winning squad, made a quick-fire run-a-ball 15 on Sunday before nicking one off Jasprit Bumrah's bowling behind the stumps to KL Rahul. The seam-bowling all-rounder also bowled two economical overs, conceding only 5 runs as Australia restricted the hosts to a gettable 240 in the final.

Below is how the netizens have reacted to Mitchell Marsh's photo after the 2023 World Cup final:

Meanwhile, Australia's debatable decision to bowl first at the Narendra Modi Stadium paid rich dividends as Pat Cummins and co. restricted an in-form Indian batting unit on a slow surface to 240 in 50 overs. Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood took 2 wickets each, while Mitchell Starc finished with 3.

Australia suffered an early jolt to their run-chase, losing 3 wickets with only 47 on the board. Nevertheless, Travis Head and Marnus Labuschagne played calmly from that stage, adding 192, with the former falling when the tourists need only 2 runs to win. Glenn Maxwell hit the winning runs as the other players stormed onto the field.
