World Cup Final: After defeat to Australia, Rahul Dravid says India ‘gave everything’; Unsure of his future
Maxwell got Australia a crucial lead in the final against India by taking the wicket of the high-flying Rohit Sharma, who was batting on 47. This wicket took the wind out of India’s sails. He did not need to do much with the bat as Travis Head scored 137 runs and more or less secured a sixth World Cup for Australia by the time Maxwell came to bat.
Meanwhile, Australian cricketer David Warner also apologized to the Indian fans on social media.
Responding to an Indian fan’s tweet about Warner “breaking a billion hearts”, the opener said: “Apologies, it was a great match and the atmosphere was unbelievable. India really put on a serious event. Thank you all.”
