With less than two hours to go for the epic clash between India and Australia for the ODI World Cup final at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday morning, the Indian cricket team was spotted boarding the team bus amid tight security.

Virat Kohli was also spotted laughing and enjoying a light moment with the team members.

Virat Kohli goes into the game as the tournament's leading batsman with 711 runs and has set a new record of 50 ODI hundreds in a 70-run semi-final win over New Zealand in Mumbai. That innings saw the star batsman break the mark of 49 ODI centuries he had shared with retired India great Sachin Tendulkar -- a childhood hero of Kohli before the duo both featured in India's victorious 2011 side.

Actor and wife of Virat Kohli, Anushka Sharma, was also spotted leaving for the stadium on Sunday morning.
