KOHLI, RAHUL'S HEROICS TURN TIDE AS INDIA EARNS VICTORY OVER AUSTRALIA

In India's perspective, particularly Kohli and Rahul, the match was anything but easy. The situation looked dire when Iyer was dismissed at the end of the second over, with Kishan, Rohit, and Iyer all failing to score (getting out for a duck). Australia had a strong advantage, and the score was a mere 2/3. This is when Kohli and Rahul joined forces, showcasing their experience and handling the pressure exceptionally well.

Kohli had a stroke of luck when Marsh dropped him at 12 runs off Hazlewood, but aside from that, their partnership was flawless. Both consistently added runs to the scoreboard, reached their respective half-centuries, and established the highest partnership for India against Australia in World Cup matches. They were on track to finish the game, but Kohli attempted to take on Australia's top bowler, Hazlewood, and got dismissed.

KL Rahul earned the player of the match award for his outstanding unbeaten innings of 97, which played a pivotal role in India's six-wicket victory.
