When Australian team captain Pat Cummins returned home after defeating the Indian team, there were hardly any people at the airport to welcome him. He was carrying his own luggage and in the name of press, there were 2-4 journalists standing with tripods and some cameras. Seeing such a disappointing welcome, it was said about Australia that cricket is dying in the country of kangaroos. On the other hand, Australian team captain Pat Cummins was not stopping and Glenn Maxwell maligned the entire Indian people on the basis of absurd messages of a handful of people.
He was so proud that when he was asked who will reach the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup, his answer was to choose 3 teams apart from Australia. Well, now the time has changed, the feelings have changed. The Indian team has become the world champion, while Australia’s journey not only ended in the Super-8, but it also had to face defeat from a small team like Afghanistan. After losing to the Afghanistan team, it had to face embarrassment at the international level.
When its players lost to India, they were expecting something from Bangladesh, which itself had reached the Super-8 by chance among the smaller teams. When the Indian team returned home, it was first given a grand welcome in New Delhi and then lakhs of people turned up for the victory parade in Mumbai.

As the evening turned into night, it felt like the ocean had merged with humans. There was no difference between the two. There was not enough land. The next morning, in the sunlight, it was discovered that thousands of people had left their slippers and shoes behind.
It is not without reason that cricket is said to be above religion in India.
Everyone knows that cricket is not just played in India, it is worshipped. It runs in the veins like blood. Even the smallest cricketers have more followers on social media than Pat Cummins. If Virat Kohli’s followers alone are added, the entire Australian team will be included.

It is possible that Australians who follow cricket follow Kohli more than Pat Cummins. Now that the arrogance has been broken, it is hoped that the Australian team will not underestimate any team in the coming years.
