'140 Crore Indians Are ...': PM Modi's Motivating Message to Team India Ahead of WC Final
Indian team has been magnificent in World Cup 2023
In a much-anticipated showdown, India is set to face Australia in the ICC World Cup 2023 final at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday.
The air is thick with excitement and anticipation as messages of support flood in from across the nation, with fans and celebrities alike expressing their best wishes on social media.
Adding to the chorus of encouragement, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi extended his support to the team via Twitter.
“All the best Team India! 140 crore Indians are cheering for you. May you shine bright, play well, and uphold the spirit of sportsmanship,” wrote PM Modi.
Coming to the World Cup 2023 campaign, India's journey to the final has been a spectacle of skill and determination, marked by an unbeaten record. The team's campaign kicked off with a dramatic win against Australia in Chennai courtesy of Virat Kohli and KL Rahul’s brilliant knocks under pressure.
Subsequently, Rohit Sharma's stunning century against Afghanistan in Delhi and Jasprit Bumrah's exceptional bowling against Pakistan in Ahmedabad were among the highlights, cementing India's position as a formidable force in the tournament.
Further, Kohli's remarkable century against Bangladesh and Mohammed Shami's impressive five-wicket haul against New Zealand were instrumental in India's wins. The team's overwhelming 302-run victory over Sri Lanka in Mumbai only further bolstered their dominance.
A notable milestone was Kohli equalling Sachin Tendulkar's record with his 49th ODI hundred against South Africa, followed by a landmark 50th ODI century in the semi-final against New Zealand. Shami's career-best performance in the same match sealed India's spot in the final.
With the World Cup trophy within reach after 12 years, the Indian team will look to conclude their near-perfect campaign with a historic win against Australia.
