India and Australia will lock horns in the final of the ICC Cricket World Cup at Ahmedabad's Narendra Modi Stadium on Sunday. India will be looking to lift the trophy for the third time while the Aussies will be looking forward to making it their sixth title win.
"Since the World Cup started, I had said that we will win the World Cup..because WC is taking place in India and all our players are in good form. Definitely, we will be winning the World Cup finals. Rohit Sharma plays for the team and plays a selfless game. He thinks of utilising the first ten overs well. He is not bothered about his milestones. His game makes things easier for batters who come after him," said Dinesh to ANI.
