New Delhi: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday Congratulated Team India for defeating Australia in the ICC Champions Trophy semi-final and qualifying for finals and wished the team for success in finals.
In a post on X, Shah shared “What an incredible display of skill and determination!! Team India marches into the final with a roar. Congratulations to our boys on their thrilling victory in the ICC Champions Trophy Semi-Final. You made the nation proud. Best wishes for the final.”
Virat Kohli delivered a chase masterclass to knock Australia out of the tournament and send India to the final with a four-wicket win in the first semi-final of the Champions Trophy on Tuesday in Dubai.
India finally savoured the sweet taste of revenge for the 2023 ODI World Cup heartbreak, which now became a distant memory as India relished its four-wicket victory in the semi-final. By chasing down a competitive 265-run target, India toppled the record by completing its highest-successful run chase against Australia in an ICC event, bettering the previous best chase of 261 in the 2011 World Cup quarter-final.
India began its pursuit of the 265-run target with a touch of caution. Shubman Gill looked jittery in his approach, while India’s captain, Rohit Sharma, remained undaunted and stuck to his early blitzkrieg approach. In his policy of playing fearless cricket, Rohit received his first lifelines when Cooper Connolly dropped a sitter.
