Twitter reacts to how roles have reversed for India and Australia since 2003 World Cup final
Just like the Australian Cricket team set a 350+ score in the 2003 ICC World Cup final, India did the same to Australia today and the latter failed to chase the target. Twitterati were quick to point out how the tables have turned since the Johannesburg final that happened 16 years ago.
Brief Scores: India 352/5 in 50 overs (Shikhar Dhawan 117, Virat Kohli 82; Marcus Stoinis 2-62, Pat Cummins 1-55) beat Australia ( Steve Smith 69, David Warner 56; Bhuvneshwar Kumar 3-50, Jasprit Bumrah 3-61) by 36 runs
Australia dismantling themselves today was fun!

Ricky Ponting looks disappointed in the pavilion, Indians superthrilled with their pending revenge for 2003 WC final 😂 #CWC19 #IndvAus

Many of us will relate to this!
Have had enough sad days watching India taken on Australia as a kid. The worst being the 2003 World Cup Final! This is an absolute treat to watch! #CW19 #INDvAUS #TeamIndia

As an Indian cricket fan, we have gone through a lot!
To watch India play an Aus team in a WC for the entire match without a whiff of a chance is a special kind of catharsis for a 90s kid to overcome Raju and Srinath's run out in 92, Sachin's stumping in 96, Pointing and Smith's bludgeoning in 2003 and 2015. #INDvAUS #CWC19

Why do you have to remind us of that! Why Star Sports? WHY!?
MCBC, why do they keep showing those clips from that 2003 world cup again and again? We played Australia in 2011 and 2015 as well. Subtle mental games?#AUSvIND #INDvAUS #Cwc19
