'2003 Ka badla': Netizens seek revenge as India takes on Australia in the World Cup finals
India has been unbeaten so far in the tournament. India beat Australia by six wickets in its first match on October 8, 2023, in Chennai.
It had decimated all other opponents in its journey to the final, including Afghanistan, Pakistan, Bangladesh, England, Sri Lanka, South Africa, The Netherlands, and New Zealand.
India stormed into the finals after registering a comprehensive 70-run victory over New Zealand on Wednesday. After Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill's explosive start, Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer scored a ton each to put India on the course of a massive target.
This will be a 20-year-old repeated clash of the 2003 World Cup Final when the two cricket-enthusiast nations faced each other, and India will be aiming to reverse the result of the last encounter.
Meanwhile, ahead of the highly anticipated clash, netizens took to Twitter (now called X) seeking revenge for the humiliating defeat in the 2003 World Cup final.

«It's time for the much-awaited trophy to bring back home where it belongs.
Ab 2003 ka badla pura hoga. We bleed blue,» wrote another.
