The T20 World Cup witnessed one of its most anticipated clashes as India demolished Pakistan by 61 runs in a match that lived up to its billing. Under Suryakumar Yadav’s captaincy, the hosts batted first and racked up 175/7, powered by Ishan Kishan’s explosive 77-run blitz.
Kishan’s innings, laced with 10 boundaries and 3 maximums off 40 deliveries, laid the foundation for a formidable total. Pakistan’s chase never took off, slumping to 114 all out in 18 overs despite Usman Khan’s gritty 44.
Political leaders from the Union Cabinet flooded social media with accolades. JP Nadda highlighted the team’s exemplary teamwork and determination, urging them to sustain the momentum.
Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal celebrated the ‘thunderous’ performance and flawless finishing, expressing pride in the champions. Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan quipped about Pakistan’s perennial optimism turning into excuses, terming the win a moment of national glory on Maha Shivratri.
Civil Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia called the Men in Blue champions once more, crediting Kishan’s special knock and the bowlers’ stranglehold. Chirag Paswan extended hearty felicitations to players, coaches, and support staff for their historic effort.
As congratulations pour in, India’s campaign gains steam. This lopsided victory not only avenges past encounters but positions the team strongly for a deep run in the competition, with eyes set on reclaiming the trophy.
