India’s chase of 257 runs got off to a strong start with opener Rohit Sharma leading the charge.

Following his dismissal, captain Virat Kohli took over and delivered a match-winning knock, reaching his 48th ODI century and guiding his team to victory.
But it was after Kohli’s powerful six in the 42nd over that the magic unfolded. Rohit embraced Kohli and wicketkeeper-batsman KL Rahul, creating a touching moment that captured the hearts of cricket fans worldwide. The International Cricket Council (ICC) even shared the moment on their official Instagram handle, further amplifying its reach.

The first photo showcased the emotional embrace between him, Kohli, and Rahul, accompanied by a simple yet powerful caption, Together, along with an Indian flag emoji. The post quickly gained traction, resonating with fans who appreciated the camaraderie and team spirit displayed by the Indian players.
This victory against Bangladesh also solidified India’s flawless record in the ODI World Cup 2023 and puts them in a strong position for a semifinal spot.
