In a thrilling final held in Ahmedabad on Sunday, Australia secured victory in the ICC ODI Cricket World Cup-2023 by defeating India with a six-wicket margin. This win marks Australia's sixth world championship, adding to their titles in 1987, 1999, 2003, 2007, and 2015.
Following the conclusion of the tournament, Virat Kohli, India's seasoned batsman, was honored with the Player of the Tournament award.
