NEW DELHI: Like it has become a norm with Google celebrating all big events in various walks of life across the world, the search engine giant put up a doodle on Sunday to mark the day of the 2023 ICC World Cup final to be played between India and Australia in Ahmedabad.
The Narendra Modi Stadium, which is the world's largest cricket venue, is all decked up for the big occasion and will host various activities, kicking off with a fly past by the fighter jets of the Indian Air Force's Suryakiran team and a musical extravaganza featuring various music composers and singers during breaks throughout the match.
India defeated New Zealand in the first semi-final, while Australia held their nerve to edge South Africa to qualify for the title match.
India have won the ODI World Cup twice, under Kapil Dev's captaincy in 1983 and under MS Dhoni in 2011.
Australia, menawhile, are the most successful team in the tournament, having lifted the trophy five times -- 1987, 1999, 2003, 2007, 2015.
