The Australian cricket team’s historic win left many Indians heartbroken, who were waiting for Team India to lift the trophy with bated breath. 

Hours after the win, Australian skipper, Pat Cummins shared a photo of Mitchell Marsh, which made its way to several social media platforms. The internet called the gesture disrespectful and bashed Marsh for it. 

After becoming the fifth Australian captain to secure his country's sixth ODI World Cup, Pat Cummins took to his IG stories and shared a picture of Australian cricketer, Mitchell Marsh.

The photo is going viral on social media where Marsh was seen sitting on a couch with both his legs resting on top of the World Cup trophy. It looks like the photo was clicked in the hotel room where the Australian team was sitting and talking to each other.

Now that the picture is going viral on social media, netizens are expressing their wrath over the same. They flooded the post's comment section and slammed Mitchell Marsh for his disrespectful gesture towards the trophy. 

While one user commented, "What a disgrace....shame on this kind of behavior", another one wrote, "The mask falls off...Finally that racist arrogance comes out. The captain too, by posting this proves he is one of them. Their team should be banned from the next World Cup." 

Someone posted Lionel Messi’s picture showing how the legend was paying respect to World Cup after winning in Qatar, 2022.
