Indian cricket star Virat Kohli presented his jersey to Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell after the 2023 World Cup final at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Sunday.
The Pat Cummins-led Australian team stopped India’s impressive run in the tournament by defeating them in the final. The Men in Blue experienced their first loss of the tournament, enduring a heartbreaking six-wicket defeat to finish as the runner-up.
After the 2023 World Cup final, Kohli and Maxwell were observed sharing a heartfelt embrace. Their strong bond off the field is a result of their time together with the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the IPL.
