T20 World Cup 2023 Memories: By winning the T20 World Cup 2024 title, Team India has ended its long wait for the ICC trophy. But the pain of the ODI World Cup 2023 final still remains in the hearts of fans and players. Many senior players including Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli have expressed grief many times by remembering that night of the World Cup final. Now Jasprit Bumrah has also joined this episode.
Jasprit Bumrah recalled the umpire's call decision of Marnus Labuschagne in that final and expressed his pain. Labuschagne remained unbeaten on 58 runs in this match. But if India had the support of the umpire, the scene would have been different.
In the 28th over, Jasprit Bumrah took the wicket of Marnus Labuschagne. Team India players also appealed for LBW, but umpire Richard Kettleborough rejected it. All the players including Bumrah were confident that the wicket was gone. Captain Rohit Sharma also demanded a review.
In the review, the ball went past the stumps. This resulted in the umpire's call being settled and Labuschagne losing his life, while India were left disappointed.
During a media event, Jasprit Bumrah was asked which umpire's decision in your career did you consider wrong? Then Jasprit Bumrah remembered that night of the World Cup 2023 final. Even today, whenever he meets Richard Kettleborough, he remembers that wicket. He further said that, what is right and what is wrong is a different matter, but Marnus Labuchane's wicket taken on umpire call in the World Cup final will always be a guarantee of not out.
It is worth noting that in the World Cup 2023 final, India set a target of 240 runs in front of Australia, in response to which the Australian team lost three wickets for just 47 runs. However, the 192-run partnership between Travis Head and Marnus Labuschagne proved to be a game-changer and Australia won the World Cup.
