India dominate Cricket World Cup team of the tournament

The International Cricket Council (ICC) unveiled its World Cup team of the tournament, a roster that prominently featured players from both finalists, India and champions Australia. The selection, announced on Monday, comprised six talents from the Indian squad and two from the victorious Australian team.

Leading the pack was Virat Kohli, the tournament's top run-scorer and recipient of the player of the tournament accolade. Joining him in the esteemed lineup were skipper Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja, pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah, and the tournament's highest wicket-taker, Mohammed Shami.

Australia's contributions were recognized with the inclusion of all-rounder Glenn Maxwell and spinner Adam Zampa, pivotal players who played crucial roles in Australia's historic sixth World Cup triumph, sealed with a six-wicket victory on Sunday.

Maxwell's standout performances, including a double century against Afghanistan and a blistering 40-ball hundred against the Netherlands, solidified his position in the team. Meanwhile, Zampa's effective spin bowling further bolstered Australia's campaign, earning him a spot in the lineup.

The selection panel responsible for curating this stellar team included eminent figures such as West Indies legend Ian Bishop, former Australian batter Shane Watson, and ICC General Manager Wasim Khan, among others.
