World Cup Final 2023: For the unversed, Richard Kettleborough has been one of the umpires in all of India's knockout losses in ICC events since 2014.

This announcement has stirred a sense of unease among Indian fans as Kettleborough has performed umpire duties in some of the most heartbreaking losses involving Team India. He was one of the umpires in all the previous ICC events in which the Men in Blue lost in the knockout round, including the Semi-final of the ODI World Cup in 2015, in which India lost to Australia.
