Team India all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja was pleased with PM Narendra Modi's visit to the dressing room after the 2023 World Cup final at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Jadeja took to X and shared a photo of Modi shaking hands with the Saurashtra all-rounder and exchanging some friendly words.
Modi graced the iconic venue with his presence on the occasion of the grand final on Sunday against Australia. However, the hosts could not emerge victorious, leaving a crowd of over 1,30,000 dejected. Australia delivered a professional performance across facets and sealed their 6th title.
Taking to X, Jadeja wrote:
"We had a great tournament but we ended up short yesterday. We are all heartbroken but the support of our people is keeping us going. PM @narendramodi's visit to the dressing room yesterday was special and very motivating."
Ravindra Jadeja goes wicketless as Travis Head's century trounces India:
Ravindra Jadeja, one of the designed wicket-takers for Team India, failed to make a breakthrough for his side on Monday. The Saurashtra all-rounder has been quite impactful throughout the tournament, taking 16 wickets alongside an economy rate of just above 4. Earlier, he was dismissed cheaply by Josh Hazlewood by a reverse-swinging delivery.
Australia, meanwhile, sealed a record 6th title by chasing 241 with 6 wickets as Travis Head cracked 137 after the tourists slipped to 47-3 at one stage and shared a partnership of 192 with Marnus Labuschagne.
