Former Indian all-rounder Yuvraj Singh feels that if the Men in Blue continue to play to their ability, they would win the 2023 World Cup final against Australia in Ahmedabad on November 19.
So far in the World Cup, Rohit Sharma and company have gone undefeated, winning all 10 games. Yuvraj feels the hosts would be confident in their ability to cross the last barrier and win the championship.
Concerning Sports Here’s what Yuvraj Singh had to say before of India’s final vs Australia:
“Given how India’s graph has been in the World Cup, I don’t think they will perform badly. The only way India can lose this World Cup is through their mistakes. I feel they are high on confidence at the moment.”

He further added:
“Australia dominated the 2003 World Cup and although we played well and reached the final, Australia dominated us. This time, I feel India have dominated the tournament. Australia will need to play their best cricket in the final, or else they have no chance against India.”

Yuvraj Singh praises Australia’s big-match temperament
Yuvraj Singh believes that the one thing India must be wary of in the final is the Aussies’ big-game attitude. He explained how the Men in Yellow defeated South Africa in such a high-pressure semifinal.
Yuvraj stated the following:
“Australia know how to handle pressure. They have won the World Cup so many times. Even in the semifinal against South Africa, Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc showed great composure as batters even when their specialist batters were all out. They win big matches because they have that big match temperament.”

Yuvraj was a member of the Indian squad that lost to Australia in the World Cup final in 2003. The hosts would undoubtedly want to avenge that setback from 20 years ago to top off a fantastic tournament.
