Australia secured their sixth ODI world cup title by defeating Team india in the recent ICC ODI world cup final. Despite the team's commendable performance on the field, criticism arose due to the celebratory actions of Australian player Mitchell Marsh. Following the viral incident, Marsh has addressed the controversy for the first time.
Marsh's post-victory conduct attracted attention as he posed with a beer bottle in one hand, placing his legs on the world cup trophy for a photo.
In response to the backlash, Marsh stated that he does not view the photo as disrespectful and prefers not to take it too seriously. Despite the widespread circulation of the image on social media, Marsh claimed he hadn't seen much of it online.
When asked if he would repeat such an act if given the chance, player Mitchell Marsh expressed openness to it, leading to commentary from netizens. The celebrations of the Aussie cricketers, documented by captain Pat Cummins on Instagram, drew criticism for Marsh's actions, with former cricketers and fans deeming it inappropriate. Additionally, a case was filed against Marsh in India. Despite the backlash, Marsh maintains that there was nothing wrong with his actions, prompting continued discussions among netizens.
