Inside Aussies’ huge World Cup party… and why key item was missing from the dressing room

Australia partied into the early hours of the morning as they celebrated a sixth World Cup title

after stunning India with a six wicket win in the final.

A century from Travis Head guided Australia to victory over the hosts after skipper Pat Cummins led from the front after sending India in to bat.

Glenn Maxwell’s pull to leg triggered jubilation from the Aussies who sprinted onto the field to celebrate.

After the on-field presentation was complete the Aussies then headed into the dressing room to continue the celebrations with staff and family.

There was one key element missing from the party at the ground, however, alcohol.

The final was held in Ahmedabad where consumption of alcohol is banned and foreigners only allowed to buy drinks in the state if they obtain a special government permit.

While the players adhered to the laws at the ground, once they returned to the team hotel the beverages began flowing where they were legally allowed to drink in the privacy of their hotel room.

“It’s a dry state, so they won’t be going out to the nightclubs here or anything like that,” cricket journalist Daniel Cherny told Sunrise.

“I think they can get some drinks back at the team hotel.”

Travis Head claimed man of the match honours for his innings, and he looked well on his way to being best on ground for the celebrations, appearing a little worse for wear in photos posted to Instagram by the Aussie team.
