  "account": "Former Indian cricket captain Virat Kohli has admitted that he still dreams about his dismissal during the 2023 World Cup final against Australia. The incident, which occurred at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, has haunted Kohli for three years. Kohli had targeted a big century, believing it would have been unbeatable given India's bowling attack. India's bowling unit, which picked up 89 wickets collectively during the tournament, played a significant role in the team's near-flawless performance. However, Kohli's dismissal in the 29th over, following a wicket by Pat Cummins, shattered a productive 67-run partnership with KL Rahul and led to India's defeat by six wickets. Kohli's confidence in his bowling unit was well-placed, as India bowled out their opponents eight times in eleven matches, with a total of 89 wickets. This dismissal, therefore, not only represented personal disappointment but also a missed opportunity for the all-time great bowling unit to defend a substantial total and secure the World Cup title.",
