Indian cricket icon Virat Kohli has lauded the Women in Blue for their incredible five-wicket victory against formidable opponents Australia in the ODI World Cup semi-final. Kohli described the win as a ‘true display of resilience, belief, and passion.’ This remarkable performance at the DY Patil Stadium secured India’s spot in their third ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup Final, having previously reached the final in 2005 and 2017. The team’s ability to chase down a challenging total against the seven-time champions highlights their immense strength and determination. Kohli took to social media to share his admiration, specifically commending Jemimah Rodrigues for her outstanding century under pressure, which was pivotal in achieving the record 339-run chase. This historic victory marks the first time a team has successfully chased a 300-plus score in an ODI World Cup knockout match, surpassing previous records in both men’s and women’s tournaments. India now aims to carry this winning momentum into the final against South Africa, seeking their first-ever Women’s World Cup title.
