Officials are reportedly open to attracting a mix of domestic and international investors, including interest from Indian Premier League-linked franchises, which could deepen ties between the BBL and the world’s most lucrative T20 competition.

Both teams will walk out chasing history.

No team has won back-to-back World Cups, and no host nation has ever been crowned champions as well, which gives the Men in Blue a chance to create history.

As the players celebrated with the Indian national flag held high, the moment carried emotional weight far beyond the scoreboard

“We stand by the families of the victims… We express our solidarity… Want to dedicate the win to all our armed forces who showed a lot of bravery.”

This explosive knock also marked the highest T20I score ever recorded on Australian soil by any batter.

The Indian women’s team will also embark on a multi-format tour, including the first day-night Test at the revamped WACA Ground

"I'm really proud of being able to achieve that, it proves I've been a decent player over a long period of time and not just a flash in the pan."

"Under ICC T20 World Cup Ticket Terms and conditions, banners or clothing displaying political messages are not permitted."

Australian cricketer David Warner called this invasion of Kohli's privacy "ridiculous, totally unacceptable."
