Priyanka Chopra, Preity Zinta and others congratulate team India for their World Cup win against Australia
As India defeated Australia by 36 runs at the Kennington Oval in London on June 9, Twitterverse went berserk as congratulatory messages poured from all quarters. Be it opener Shikhar Dhawan’s sparkling hundred, or the phenomenal bowling performance by Jasprit Bumrah, the spectacular cricketers helped the men in blue defeat the Kangaroos in the second match of the ICC World Cup 2019.
Not only fans but several Bollywood celebrities including Preity Zinta, Manish Malhotra, Arjun Rampal, Kriti Kharbanda and more took to their social media account to congratulate the cricketers for their excellent effort. While Arjun’s post read, “Jai Hind. Bola tha. The giant slayers, India. Celebrate. Huge win. #IndiavsAustralia goodnight,” Priety, on the other hand, tweeted, “वाह क्या मैच था What a power-packed win by India today. Great effort by the batsmen & bowlers. This Sunday is definitely a fun day in sunny California and I’m loving every bit of it. #ting #INDvAUS #BleedBlue #ICCCWC2019.”
Indian skipper Virat Kohli was pleased with his team’s performance, especially after Australia defeated them 3-2 in an ODI series that was held earlier this year in India. During the press interaction, Kohli said, “A top, top win for us after losing that series in India. We had a point to prove. We came in with intent right from ball one. The opening partnership was outstanding. It was an outstanding effort with the ball on a good batting track. You have to bowl well. You can’t take things for granted just because you have 350 on the board.”
