Fans have held a superstitious belief since 2011 that the winner of the World Cup is the captain who stands to the right of the trophy (left on camera) before the match.

Hence, everyone was watching closely when Rohit Sharma and Pat Cummins posed with the trophy on Saturday (November 18) before the much-anticipated final between India and Australia, set to take place at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.

Further, Rohit was on the 'wrong' side, as people noticed when the video went viral on social media. Then, just before pictures were taken, he made the spontaneous decision to move, making his ardent fans happy.

Nonetheless, it is still conceivable that the captain of the host nation prefers to pose legally on the right side. Therefore, Rohit Sharma has been following in the footsteps of Michael Clarke, Eoin Morgan, MS Dhoni if that is the case.

Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad will host the India versus Australia World Cup 2023 final on Sunday (November 19). Will the trend follow? We will find out very very soon. Fasten your seatbelt for cricket's grandest fixture.
