Australia has won the World Cup for the fifth time. This time Man of the series award goes to Australian pacer Mitchell Starc. Mitchell Starc picked up 22 wickets and was named as the Player of the Series.
At the end of 2015 Cricket World Cup, it was Mitchell Starc who finished as the best bowler of the tournament. He shared the same number of wickets as that of Trent Boult from New Zealand at 22 but the better average and economy helped him to won the award.
Another Australian pacer Faulkner was named man of the match for his haul of three for 36 and the spindly Starc walked away with the man of the series trophy for his 22 wickets. Tendulkar, who was the brand ambassador of the event, handed out trophies to the Man of the Match James Faulkner and Man of the Tournament Mitchell Starc.
As the name of the on-stage dignitaries, including ICC Chairman N Srinivasan, were read out by presenter Mark Nicholas, MCG let out a thunderous cheer for Tendulkar as he waved at the capacity crowd with a smile on his face.
