After Australia won the World Cup in a one-sided contest at the Narendra Modi stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday (November 19), Pat Cummins called it the “pinnacle of international cricket.” A persistent bowling performance helped them restrict India to 240 before Travis Head put on a show, smashing a fantastic century to help Australia chase down the total in 43 overs to win the men’s edition for the sixth time.
“Winning a one-day World Cup is huge; I think it’s the pinnacle of international cricket.” Especially in front of a throng like this here in India. That is significant. Yeah, it’s been a tremendous year for everyone. Still, our cricket team has been here in India, the Ashes, the World Test Championship, and to top it off with this is just huge, and these are the moments you’ll remember for the rest of your life,” Cummins said during the post-match news conference, reports Live Cricket Score.
“Every international team just gets together.” You only get one shot every four years. Even with a ten-year career, you may only have two chances to succeed. And, indeed, the entire cricket world halts with this World Cup. So things don’t get any better.”
Australia has had a successful year, winning the World Test Championship by defeating India, regaining the Ashes in England, and now winning the ODI World Cup. Cummins quickly labelled the World Cup victory as their ‘pinnacle’ when asked to rate the greatest.
