With regret, England’s all-rounder Ben Stokes congratulated the victorious Australian team and Pat Cummins on their ICC World Cup 2023 victory. This is in response to Cummins’ prior statement, which included a beeping smile and a tinge of sarcasm when asked about England’s performance. Acknowledging the competitive intensity simmering beneath the Australian skipper’s remark about England’s tournament run, Stokes, seeing the undertone within the banter, congratulated the Australian squad.
At the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, the Australian team chose to bat after winning the toss—a move that first raised eyebrows. But it turned out to be important, as they easily dismissed the Indian team for only 240 runs. After a few early mishaps, Australia easily tracked the target and won with six wickets remaining. Ben Stokes recorded another ‘X’ in his record book, sending a message of congratulations to the kangaroos.
I had to grind my teeth for a while to type this. There’s nothing better than hoisting that trophy at the end of eight weeks of intense cricket, so congratulations to Pat Cummins and his Australia team on winning the World Cup,” he tweeted on ‘X’.
Below is Ben Stokes’ most recent post on “X”:

I believe that we saved the greatest for last: Pat Cummins
In Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium, Pat Cummins was overjoyed when Australia defeated India by six wickets in the World Cup 2023 final. The Australians made a strong comeback after suffering two early losses to South Africa and India. With seven overs remaining in the match, he guided his team to victory by chasing down 241 runs against the Men in Blue, capping an incredible comeback for them this season.
“I believe that we saved the finest for last. Since we had essentially been batting first the entire tournament, we decided it would be a good idea to pursue the goal this evening. Furthermore, the pitch didn’t actually spin as much as we had assumed. At the post-game presentation ceremony, Cummins was cited as saying, “The boys were fantastic. We got an aging side, and still, everyone is throwing themselves on the field.”
