Right ahead of the match, India skipper Rohit Sharma talked about team's preparation for the ultimate showdown against Australia.
In the pre-match press conference Rohit revealed what spurred India to the ODI World Cup final.
"We have prepared for this day ever since I became the captain. We had to identify players in the last 2 years, as per the formats. We had given role clarity and lots of discussions between the captain and coach. The importance of role clarity is huge for us reaching this platform. We have tried our best to keep the mindset and roles clear. So far so good, hopefully tomorrow as well," said Rohit.
Underlining the importance of World Cup final, India's very own Hitman also admitted that it will be the biggest moment for every player in the Indian dressing room.
“This is a huge occasion without a doubt. Whatever we have dreamt so far is here. This is the most challenging aspect for professional sportsmen as to how you keep such challenges out of your minds and keep your focus. This is the biggest moment in our careers and it is important to stay calm and composed because that is where you can execute your plans better. You don't get to play World Cup finals daily. I have grown up watching 50-over World Cups so for me it'll be the biggest occasion.”
