'I lost the bet', had bet on India becoming World Cup 2023 champion; Former England captain made a big revelation

Former England captain Kevin Pietersen said that he was supporting India in the World Cup 2023 final and hence lost the bet. Australia defeated India by 6 wickets in the World Cup final played on 19 November at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad and won the World Cup title for the sixth time.

Kevin Pietersen also expressed his opinion on England's World Cup 2023 performance and termed it terrible. "Unfortunately when you come up against Australia like I did many times because the Kangaroos are competitive and they have the ability to turn things around in the final and win the title," said Pietersen, who has been a part of Legends League Cricket.

The former captain further said, “The Australian team is very competitive and the Indian team was unlucky that day. Australia performed brilliantly in fielding and bowling and then created a stir with the bat as well. When the Australian team came out to bat, the score of 230-240 was not enough for them.

Kevin Pietersen has described England's performance in the World Cup 2023 as terrible and said that no one had predicted that they could reach the final. He said, "When the match was being played between India and England in Guwahati, before the tournament I had said that the World Cup 2023 final would be played between these two teams. No one had guessed what would happen to England.

Recall that the final match of the World Cup 2023 between India and Australia was played on 19 November at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. India batted first and the entire team was all out for 240 runs on the last ball of the innings. In reply, Australia achieved the target by losing 4 wickets in 43 overs. Australia won the World Cup title for the sixth time.
