Indian fans have been labelled ‘pathetic and immature’ for their reaction to Australia’s incredible Cricket World Cup final victory.<\/p>\n
Spectators inside the 130,000-seat Narendra Modi Stadium gave a peculiar response during the trophy presentation as Pat Cummins’ side were crowned world champions for a sixth time on Sunday.<\/p>\n
On-field umpires Richard Kettleborough and Richard Illingworth were booed by the crowd for seemingly no apparent reason, with there being no controversial decisions made during the match.<\/p>\n
Travis Head, who scored a stunning century to win the game for Australia, was met with silence when he reached triple figures at the crease too.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Indian fans have been slammed for their treatment of Aussie stars after World Cup final<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Fans were heard chanting ‘Rohit, Rohit’ when Australia were handed the trophy on Sunday<\/p>\n
‘Some 80 people among the 11000+ at the Narendra Modi Stadium clapped their hands together as Travis Head raised his bat after reaching his 50,’ cricket journalist Bharat Sundaresan said on Twitter.<\/p>\n
‘Must feel like a late-season #SheffieldShield game at the Adelaide Oval.’<\/p>\n
Indian comedian Anshu Mor was equally scathing of the treatment of the Australians.<\/p>\n
‘Crowd booing the umpires receiving medals and then shouting Rohit Rohit when Australian team was receiving their medals – absolute d***heads!!’ he posted online.<\/p>\n
‘Cities with a great cricketing culture like Mumbai, Chennai or Kolkata should hold these big matches.’<\/p>\n
The Indian team was also nowhere to be seen when Australia were handed the famous trophy on Sunday, a point which Michael Vaughan noticed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘Didn\u2019t like not seeing the Indian side stay out on the pitch to see the Aussies lift the trophy,’ he said.<\/p>\n
