The Indian cricket team’s dream of lifting the 2023 Cricket World Cup trophy ended on a sour note as Australia registered a comfortable victory in the final to win the title for the sixth time in their history. The Indian cricket team, which remained undefeated throughout the semi-final, was left heartbroken. Not only the team, the fans and supporters of the game were sad and many expressed their pain on social media. Similarly, a user took to X, formerly Twitter, and expressed her feelings.
OTT platform Disney+Hotstar witnessed 5.9 crore concurrent viewers on Sunday. However, the real show on the live streaming site was made with 5.1 crore viewers. A user, who goes by the name “S” on the microblogging site, cleverly tagged that photo as “5.1 CrYING”, capturing the overall emotions of the fans and supporters of the Indian team. This photo ended up being the perfect representation of India’s heartbreaking World Cup defeat, leaving spectators and supporters alike in tears. It immediately went viral on the platform, collecting six lakh views and four thousand likes.

“I want to say how creative this is but this is sad at the same time,” said one user.
“It’s literally true,” another user added.
A third person added: “humor based on collective pain.”
“Clearly won the #WCC2023 finals meme contest,” said one user.
“Plus another 50+ million people crying in front of their TV screens,” another user commented.
Meanwhile, chasing a target of 241 runs, Australia cruised on Travis Head’s 120-ball 137 to clinch their sixth ODI World Cup title. Cummins had nothing but praise for his side after the match, having executed the perfect plan to outshine the Indian side on the big occasion.
