India Vs Australia’s final clash is set to take place on 19th November at Narendra Modi stadium. Fans couldn’t be more excited about the much anticipated match between the two rivals. The Aussies are looking forward to their 6th ODI world cup trophy, while the men in blue are waiting to break their defeat curse since 2011.
In 2003, Australia crushed India in the summit clash, winning the match by 125 runs in a heated clash at the Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg, South Africa. The current situation sure does take us back to the same match.
Amidst the excitement of the World Cup summit clash, there are some funny tweets circulating on X which can’t be overlooked.

Same user posted another meme on X which quotes talking about the revenge of the 2003 defeat.
While one section is rooting for revenge, another section is worried about the presence of Richard Kettleborough as an umpire in the final match. Records say that whenever Kettleborough is present in India’s final matches, India faces defeat.
One of the users took to X and wrote,India lost 2014 T20 WC vs Sri Lanka, 2015 ODI WC semifinals vs Australia, 2016 T20 WC semifinals vs West Indies, 2017 champions trophy final vs Pakistan, and the unforgettable 2019 ODI WC semifinals vs New Zealand, all in the presence of Richard Kettleborough.
