Controversial World Cup Trophy Photo: Mitchell Marsh Under Fire for Celebration
Mitchell Marsh, the star Australian batter who hit one of the biggest sixes during the World Cup match against India, was photographed with his feet resting on the World Cup trophy after the game. The image was taken in the Australian dressing room following their historic victory at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
The casual pose of Marsh, who was seen stretching his legs while resting his feet on the trophy, sparked controversy among Indian netizens who deemed it disrespectful given the intense competition among 10 national teams during the tournament. Despite this, Australia emerged victorious with a score of 240 and chased it down in 43 overs with six wickets remaining. This victory marked Australia’s sixth time winning the World Cup title.
