Mitchell Marsh Australia star faces heat on social media for the 'World Cup Trophy Act'
The all-rounder of the Australian cricket team, Mitchell Marsh, is currently facing a lot of criticism on social media following a viral photo showing him resting his foot on the Cricket World Cup trophy. Australia defeated India by six wickets to claim a record-extending sixth World Cup title, resulting in massive heartbreak for the Rohit Sharma-led side, which was unbeaten ahead of the final match on Sunday. In a picture that has gone viral on social media, Marsh can be seen sitting on the sofa while resting his foot on the World Cup trophy. The social media users were not happy with the act, and they expressed their disappointment. One of the users wrote, “Disrespectful to the World Cup trophy. They should be penalized for this.” Whereas another user wrote, "Disrespectful.”
Restricting the powerful batting line of India up to 240 was a huge factor in Australia winning their sixth World Cup, captain Pat Cummins said on Sunday, terming the victory as their best effort in the showpiece. Riding on Travis Head's 120-ball 137 runs, the Aussies chased down the target after an early stutter to etch a six-wicket victory.
