A proud moment for all Indians as the Men in Blue have advanced to the semi-finals of the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024. Not just fans, but Bollywood celebrities are also celebrating the team’s victory, especially lauding Rohit Sharma’s spectacular performance against Australia.
After the crucial India vs. Australia match last night, several celebrities, including Varun Dhawan, Ayushmann Khurrana, and Vikrant Massey, expressed their joy and pride. Varun Dhawan celebrated this milestone in his unique Badlapur style. He took to Instagram stories to share a poster of his hit film ‘Badlapur,’ but with Rohit Sharma’s face superimposed over his own, with the caption, “Badla pura… World Cup se World Cup tak.” This creative homage highlighted India’s epic comeback less than a year after losing the World Cup trophy to Australia in 2023.
Ayushmann Khurrana also shared his excitement on social media. On his X handle, he wrote, “Moving forward after avenging the ODI World Cup defeat against Aussies. Whatta great team effort. Well played Ro, SKY, Dube, Arsh. This World Cup is going to be ours! Cmon India! #IndVsAus #WorldCup #T20.”
Vikrant Massey praised Rohit Sharma’s performance, sharing stills of the Indian captain on Instagram stories with the caption, “The BOSS has delivered.”
In the 2023 ODI World Cup final, Australia marked their sixth win in the history of the 50-over World Cup, while India remained with two titles following their successes in 1983 and 2011. In a tough match, India was bowled out for 240 in 50 overs, with key contributions from Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and KL Rahul. However, Australia, led by stellar performances from Travis Head and Marnus Labuschagne, chased down the target to win by six wickets.
In the recent T20 World Cup match, Rohit Sharma’s impressive 92 runs, coupled with strong performances from Arshdeep Singh, Jasprit Bumrah, and Kuldeep Yadav, secured a 24-run victory for India against Australia, sealing their spot in the semi-finals. Rohit’s knock earned him the Player of the Match award. India topped the Super 8 Group 1 table with six points from three matches and will face defending champions England in the semi-final at Providence Stadium, Guyana, on June 27.
