IND vs AUS ICC World Cup 2023 final: Talismanic batter Virat Kohli scored the first fifty of the World Cup final but fell soon afterwards for 54 when bowled by Australia captain Pat Cummins in Ahmedabad on Sunday.

Kohli completed his fifth successive score of fifty or more at the tournament, albeit it took him a relatively sedate 56 balls with just four fours. Kohli, who started this match as the tournament's leading batsman with 711 runs, scored a record-breaking 50th one-day international hundred in unbeaten hosts India's 70-run semi-final win over New Zealand. That innings saw Kohli surpass the mark of 49 centuries he had shared with retired India great Sachin Tendulkar.
