After the loss of India against Australia in the ODI World Cup final 2023, many former cricketers and fans of cricket have been shocked. Most of the predictions were about India eventually winning the World Cup. But as the fate turned out, India lost to Australia in a humiliating way. The loss of India hurt many fans of the Indian team, who expected India to win the tournament, considering it was the best team on paper.
Till the final of the tournament, India was unbeaten. The home side dominated the entire tournament till the final without breaking much sweat. The way India played in the tournament was lauded by many. But on the big day, Australia turned out to be the better team. Yet, the discussion has been going on about the best team in the tournament. Mohammad Kaif claimed that the best team did not win the tournament.
The former Indian cricketer said that India was the best team on paper, and he would never accept that Australia was the best team in the tournament. “I can never accept that the best team has won the World Cup. The Indian team is the best team on paper,” said Kaif on a show on the broadcasting channel. The views of Kaif had mixed views. But most of them believed that Kaif was wrong.
‘At the end of the day, you need to perform when it matters’ – David Warner
It’s fine Warner, just because we lost in finals it doesn’t make our team as a bad team.
Don’t worry we’ll come back stronger and will show what we are capable of— Manu (@virat_facts) November 22, 2023
Not even the best on paper. India are not even strong enough to beat 2011 version of themselves or 2007 and 2003 Australia team. They only look better because other teams are weak.

Kaif spouting rubbish! We didn’t perform when it mattered. That’s the end of it. No trophies handed out for ‘moral’ victories. Aussies are deserved winners!

I can sense what Mohammad Kaif is trying to say here.
Australia might have won the world and was a better team in the final but if you talk about the team of the tournament it’s surely India.India dominance was unreal and it’s just one bad game that doesn’t take that credit from… pic.twitter.com/nfQUVBiBrB
