The final, where India clinched the ODI World Cup trophy for the second time, was deemed the "happiest day" of Tendulkar's career. Although the 'Men in Blue' have encountered semi-final setbacks in recent years, they have finally secured a spot in the ongoing World Cup after a convincing 70-run win against New Zealand.
As India prepares to face Australia in the ODI World Cup final after two decades, memories of the 2003 final linger, where India suffered a significant 125-run defeat.
Eager to overcome past disappointments, the Indian team aims for redemption in the final against the 'Baggy Greens.' The wounds from the 2003 final and the World Test Championship (WTC) earlier this year fuel India's determination to emerge victorious in the much-anticipated clash with Australia.
