00:00 India's 1983 World Cup winning captain Kapil Dev has claimed that he wasn't invited to
00:08 watch the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023 final at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
00:15 Dev said he wasn't invited, which is why he did not go to watch the final between India
00:20 and Australia.
00:21 "The men in blue lost to Australia in the finals.
00:24 I wasn't invited.
00:25 They didn't call me, so I did not go.
00:28 As simple as that.
00:29 I wanted the whole 83 team to be there with me, but I guess due to the fact that it's
00:33 such a big event and people are so busy handling responsibilities, sometimes they forget,"
00:38 said Dev.
00:39 Among other former Indian captains who were present at the Narendra Modi Stadium were
00:43 Sourav Ganguly, who was invited in the capacity of a former BCCI president.
00:48 Inviting past presidents and officials is a BCCI norm.
00:52 India first lifted the coveted World Cup trophy under Dev's leadership when it was a 60-over
00:57 a side format.
00:58 The Dev-led Indian unit had then stunned a star-studded West Indies unit in a low-scoring
01:04 encounter.
01:05 The match began with India losing some early wickets, putting them in a precarious position.
01:10 Opener Shubh Mangil was dismissed by Michelle Stark for just four runs.
01:13 Rohit Sharma, known for his aggressive batting style, tried to stabilise the innings but
01:17 eventually succumbed to Glenn Maxwell's bowling, caught brilliantly by Travis Head on the offside
01:22 after making 47 runs.
01:24 However, the Australian bowlers kept a tight leash on the scoring rate, with Michelle Stark
01:29 taking three wickets and Josh Hazlewood providing crucial breakthroughs.
01:33 As the first innings came to an end, India found itself bowled out at 240.
01:37 In a helter-skelter start to the chase that had all the hallmarks of India's journey to
01:41 this point, Bumrah and Mohammad Shami wrecked what appeared to be match-winning havoc.
01:46 But from 47-3 in seven utterly madcap overs, Seam Smith, the last to fall LBW and failing
01:52 to call for the review that would have saved him, two batters in Travis Head and Manvis
01:56 Labashange displayed the kind of resilience and skill that has run through Australian
02:01 cricket history like the words 'through a stick of cannery yellow rock'.
02:04 As Pat Cummins and his players basked in the afterglow of a sixth men's World Cup title
02:09 for Australia, a contender for the greatest, no question, thousands of Indian supporters
02:13 poured out of the giant cricket coliseum in a state of utter disbelief.
