Australia under the captaincy of star pacer Pat Cummins clinched their historic sixth ODI World Cup title, after defeating India in the final of the recently concluded ODI World Cup 2023. The Australian team won the summit clash against the hosts by a margin of 6 wickets to win another ODI World Cup title after a wait of 8 years since they won it last time in 2015.
Meanwhile, a video of the Australian skipper Pat Cummins is also going viral over social media as soon as it was shared by a cricket fan over X (formerly Twitter). In the video, Cummins can be seen coming out of the airport in Australia after he flew back home following the World Cup win; the most awkward thing fans noticed on Cummins’ arrival in Australia was a very below-average and quite dull welcome of the World Champion skipper in his home country.
“This is Pat Cummins' welcome at the airport. Looks like the Cricket World Cup wasn't telecasted in Australia,” wrote the cricket fan who shared this video over X. This video also garnered a lot of reactions from the cricket fans with a lot of various types of opinions and comments on the same.
Here’s the video of Pat Cummins being welcomed in Australia:

Notably, Pat Cummins also delivered brilliantly with the ball, alongside captaincy against India in the final of the ODI World Cup 2023, played at the Narendra Modi Stadium tomorrow. Notably, Pat Cummins and a few other senior players have been rested from the upcoming five-match T20I series against India in India.
In the absence of the senior players in the team, the star of the World Cup final night, Travis Head will lead the Australian team in the T20I series against Suryakumar Yadav-led India. The series will kick off with the first T20I tomorrow, Thursday, November 23 in Vishakhapatnam.

The reason why Australia is this much successful is because they take cricket like a normal sports but in India we took it as religion

They didn't care about that, they play world cup as a normal match.
