Virat Kohli Celebrates India Women’s Historic World Cup Semi-Final Win

Star batter Virat Kohli expressed his delight and admiration for the Indian women’s cricket team following their sensational semi-final victory over Australia in the ODI World Cup. The ‘Women in Blue’ achieved a memorable five-wicket win, chasing down a massive target of 339 at the DY Patil Stadium. Kohli, a former captain, took to X (formerly Twitter) to praise the team’s spirit, stating it was a ‘true display of resilience, belief, and passion.’ He specifically highlighted Jemimah Rodrigues’ match-winning century, describing it as a ‘standout performance’ in a high-pressure game. This triumph propels India into their third World Cup final, a significant achievement after previous finals in 2005 and 2017. The successful chase of 339 is not only a record for a Women’s ODI run-chase but also the first 300-plus score to be gunned down in any ODI World Cup knockout game. As hosts, India is now set to face South Africa in the final, with both teams vying for their maiden Women’s World Cup trophy.
