India’s bowlers, led by Jasprit Bumrah, secured a thrilling six-run victory over Pakistan in a low-scoring T20 World Cup match, as Sachin Tendulkar hails their exceptional performance. The match, held at New York’s Nassau County International Cricket Stadium, witnessed an intense battle between the two cricketing rivals. Despite Pakistan’s strong start, thanks to Mohammad Rizwan’s impressive batting, India’s bowlers turned the game in their favor. Bumrah’s exceptional spell, supported by Hardik Pandya’s crucial contributions, helped India defend a modest total of 119 runs.
Following the nail-biting finish, cricket legends like Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag, and Yuvraj Singh took to social media to commend India’s performance. Tendulkar, in particular, praised the bowlers for their standout display and highlighted the significance of the win on foreign soil. Sehwag and Yuvraj lauded Bumrah’s heroics and Rohit Sharma’s strategic captaincy in guiding India to victory.
The Indian cricket fraternity, including BCCI secretary Jay Shah, Irfan Pathan, Suresh Raina, Anil Kumble, and Harbhajan Singh, expressed their joy and pride in India’s hard-fought triumph. Shah emphasized the significance of the win against arch-rivals Pakistan in a crucial T20 World Cup encounter.
With this result, India maintains its momentum in the tournament, leading Group A with consecutive wins. The victory not only boosts India’s confidence but also raises the team’s hopes for a successful campaign in the T20 World Cup. As the competition progresses, all eyes will be on India’s upcoming matches against USA and Canada, where they aim to continue their winning streak and secure a spot in the knockout stage.
