India defeated Australia by six wickets in their ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 opener on Sunday at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. Opting to bat, the Aussies posted 199/10, with Indian spinners keeping things under wraps. Kuldeep Yadav, Ravindran Jadeja, and R Ashwin claimed six scalps between them, conceding 104 runs from 30 overs. For the Aussies, nobody went on to get a fifty-plus score on what was a rare occasion. In response, the hosts were rocked by Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood, being reduced to 2/3. Ishan Kishan, Rohit Sharma, and Shreyas Iyer were dismissed for ducks. However, Virat Kohli and KL Rahul produced a masterclass after that, stitching a record-breaking stand and helping India win the match. Kohli scored a valiant 85 as Rahul remained unbeaten on 96. Here, we decode the key records that were broken in this match.
1000 WORLD CUP RUNS FOR DAVID WARNER
Australian opener David Warner scored 41 for his side before perishing against Kuldeep. Warner, who needed eight runs to clock 1000 World Cup runs, became the fourth Aussie with this feat. He also became the third-highest scorer for Australia in the World Cup by surpassing Mark Waugh (1004). Warner has raced to 1033 runs from 19 games at 60.76. He owns a strike rate of 97.17.
WARNER BECOMES THE FASTEST TO 1000 WORLD CUP RUNS
Warner is now the fastest to 1000 World Cup runs. As mentioned, he took just 19 innings, having displaced India’s Sachin Tendulkar and former South African captain AB de Villiers, who took 20 innings each. Notably, Warner’s average of 60.76 is the highest among batters with at least 1000-plus runs at the event.
