Fan Proposal (Source: Twitter)
The World Test Championship 2023 final between India has turned out to be a run-soring fest, with the audience at The Oval witnessing some great performances. During the match, there was also a couple among the spectators that decided to make a celebration of their own.
On Day 4 of the match, a man proposed to his girlfriend in the stands, and she said yes. To seal off the proposal, the two shared a kiss as their image went viral on social media. The fans on the internet have been sending congratulatory messages to the couple for their life ahead.
As for the match, the Australians have had the upper hand throughout the game. To begin with, India had a good start with the ball in the first innings. They grabbed three wickets relatively early to put the Kangaroos on the backfoot. However, Travis Head and Steve Smith scored centuries to help their team post a massive total of 469.
After that, India’s batting performance got off to a shaky start, with Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Cheteshwar Pujara, and Virat Kohli struggling. However, Ajinkya Rahane, Ravindra Jadeja, and Shardul Thakur batted brilliantly to help India to a respectable total of 296 runs. Rahane, who was making his comeback for the team, came 11 runs short of a well-deserved century.
In their next batting innings, Australia had a few good partnerships after attaining a lead of 173 runs in the first innings. Thanks to a half-century from Alex Carey and cameos from Marbus Labuschagne and Mitchell Starc, they managed to score 270/8 before declaring the innings. Australia set a target of 44 runs for India to chase down.
The team led by Rohit Sharma will need to create history to win this all-important match. The highest total to have been chased down at this venue is 263 by England in 1902. This is India’s second chance at winning the WTC final and would not want this to slip out of their hands.
Here is how fans reacted to the man proposing to his girlfriend
