Prime Minister Narendra Modi was seen walking away on the stage after curtly giving the trophy to Australian captain Cummins.  Cummins was seen staring with a blank expression. Here's the video for you. Take a look at it:

India missed out on a golden opportunity to become the only country to win two men's ODI World Cup titles at home on Sunday here at Narendra Modi Stadium.

Australia lifted their sixth men's ODI World Cup title after defeating the hosts India in the finals of the showpiece event following a scintillating display of batting by Travis Head (137).

Be it batting, bowling, or fielding, Australia completely dominated the set-up and Team India looked clueless in the game. The loss couldn't be attributed to a single player obviously but there were instances where the team didn't just put up the show.

Australian skipper Pat Cummins won the toss and chose to bowl first so he had a fair share of idea of what could be a par score in this tricky wicket.

Also, when India lost three wickets, Virat Kohli and KL Rahul in order to steady the ship played really slow. The duo added 67 runs in the 18 overs. The defensive approach coupled with Australia's brilliance in the field made sure, the hosts fell 40-50 runs short.

While both Kohli and Rahul reached their fifties, their failure to capitalize on the starts contributed to India's struggle. Rahul's innings of 66 off 107 balls was deemed too slow for modern-day cricket standards. Suryakumar Yadav, coming in after Ravindra Jadeja, faced challenges settling in, hindering India's scoring momentum. The team could only manage to post a total of 240 runs.
