Fans react to India defeating England in T20 World Cup semi-final: 

After the senior hitter was removed from the game in the third over at a total of 7, Barmy Army shared a picture of Virat Kohli during play. Soon after the game, the original post was retweeted by an account called Bharat Army on X, formerly known as Twitter, with the remark, “Khatam bye bye tata goodbye gaya.”

“People made fun of you, hated you started negative campaign against you but trust me you have come a long way fighting them all,” another person commented, complimenting Indian captain Rohit Sharma’s tenacity.

Another user made predictions on what would take place on June 29 when South Africa and India, the two undefeated teams in this year’s World Cup, square off in the championship match. “India,” they penned. Last bound. The final pits two undefeated teams in the #T20WorldCup against one another. It will be wonderful.”

IND vs ENG: India defeated England by 8 wickets: 

England won the toss and chose to ask the Men in Blue to bat first in Guyana on Thursday. India was put under strain early in the first innings as they lost opener Virat Kohli in the third over of the game and then lost Rishabh Pant during the powerplay.

India then crossed the boundary and passed the 100-run mark thanks to a 73-run combination between Suryakumar Yadav and Rohit Sharma. The Men in Blue were put under some strain when Rohit and Surya were removed in the 14th and 16th overs, respectively, but Hardik Pandya’s lower-order batting made sure that India’s total above 170-runs.

England never looked like winning the match after losing three important wickets in the first six overs, namely Jos Buttler, Phil Salt, and Johny Bairstow. Then, with Kuldeep Yadav leading the way, India’s spinners made sure that England could never rally, bowling them out for 103.

India bowled brilliantly all around, with Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel grabbing three wickets apiece and Jasprit Bumrah continuing his incredible form with two wickets.
