His post read, \u201cFacts: It was Australia\u2019s day in the final, they won, they are World Cup winners. More facts: India comprehensively won 10 games, they lost 11th, and they had the best bowlers and batters. They were the tournament\u2019s best team. Both facts, on paper and on the field. Relax Australia.\u201d<\/p>\n

Previously, an Australian broadcaster\/commentator Glenn Mitchell mocked Kaif for claiming that India was the best team of CWC 2023 on Papers by saying that someone should remind the ex-cricketer that World Cup finals are played and won on the field, not the papers.<\/p>\n

For the unversed, Mohammad Kaif was also a part of World Cup 2003\u2019s Indian team which performed exceptionally well in the entire tournament but got thrashed by Ricky Pointing\u2019s Australia in the finals.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
