We cannot put the entire blame on the team selection as India's performance in the first 10 matches was outstanding. Everyone started to think that India might win the 2023 World Cup but their reverse in the finals is really unacceptable. Moreover, if India won the toss in the final, the picture of the final might have changed. Rohit Sharma's performance in this World Cup was amazing, Virat Kohli performed amazingly and became the highest run scorer. However, despite India's all-round performance, such a defeat cannot be accepted at the end.

Previous meeting, India won by 142 runs
But final meeting, Australia won by 6 wickets
Both matches consists of Same team.
How can you explain this results??

You want explanation? LOL.. the explanation is that India got overconfident and failed to adjust to the conditions. On both occasions, it was Australia who won the toss. But in the first match, Australia chose to bat first. They got bowled out for just 199 runs, and India chased down the target with 6 wickets to spare. In the second match, Australia sent India to bat first after winning the toss. The outcome was similar. Chasing team won the match with 6 wickets to spare. In the first match, it was Ravindra Jadeja and Kuldeep Yadav who did the maximum damage, with Ravichandran Ashwin taking the wicket of Cameron Green. In the second match, the Australians were quite prepared, and they handled the spinners quite well.
