Former Indian cricketer Gautam Gambhir has expressed his belief that Australia remains “vulnerable” despite their advancement to the 2023 ODI World Cup final. Speaking on Star Sports, Gambhir stated, “Australia are still very vulnerable, but yes, they know how to win these knockout games.”

He said, “India will have to play their A-game in the final, which they have been playing since the last 10 matches. India are going to be very confident facing Australia in Ahmedabad.”
In the semifinal, Australia faced a challenging target set by South Africa, with David Miller‘s century helping the Proteas post 212 runs.

He commended India’s consistent performance and emphasized the need for them to maintain their high standards in the final. Gambhir said, “India will have to play their A-game in the final, which they have been playing since the last 10 matches.”
