The team’s performance under the captaincy of Mitchell Marsh was very poor. It had to face defeat against teams like Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe, which is considered to be the downfall of the team. Meanwhile, a photo of Captain Mitchell Marsh is going viral, which fans are linking to this downfall.
A shameful act and the downfall of the team begins
In fact, in the 2023 ICC ODI World Cup, Australia won the title for a record sixth time by defeating India. But during the celebration after the final, a photo of Australian all-rounder Mitchell Marsh went viral, in which he was resting with his feet on the World Cup trophy. Many people considered this photo insulting, especially Indian fans who called it ‘arrogant’. Since this incident, the Australian team is going through a bad phase. He is getting big shocks one after the other.
