India won against Pakistan at the Narendra Modi stadium in Ahmedabad and Bollywood is all praise for it.
The world’s largest stadium, the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, bore witness to the latest chapter in the historic rivalry between two of cricket’s fiercest rivals. India and Pakistan clashed at the grand stage of the ODI World Cup on Saturday, marking their third clash in 2023 after the Asia Cup. And to everyone’s delight, India won by 7 wickets.
Bollywood celebrated India’s win, with many celebrities congratulating the team on social media. Among the first ones to post were Ajay Devgn and Kareena Kapoor.
“The BEST bowling attack, the BEST batting line-up, we have it ALL! World Cup Trophy.. Here we come!” wrote Ajay, sharing a photo of the Men In Blue in action from the match. Kareena wrote, “Congratulations Team India. Always doing us proud…”
Sunny Deol, too, took to Instagram Stories to wish Team India. He wrote, “Gadar machadiya hamare #MenInBlue ne aaj cricket ke maidaan me. Huge congratulations to #TeamIndia and the entire nation celebrating this big win!!”
While India chased 192 runs, Shaheen Afridi made an early breakthrough by getting Shubman Gill out. India, relying on Rohit and Kohli, faced the challenge of Pakistan’s bowlers. However, Hasan Ali struck a crucial blow by getting Kohli out. Shreyas Iyer’s half century took India towards the win.
The first match between the two teams had ended without a result due to rain, but in the second one, India displayed dominance, clinching the championship. Both teams, though, started off their World Cup campaigns with consecutive wins and aimed to maintain their momentum at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. India secured wins against Australia and Afghanistan, while Pakistan won over the Netherlands and Sri Lanka.
