[Saba Sports News] In the final group stage match of the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup at Bengaluru’s M Chinnaswamy Stadium, India clashed with the Netherlands on November 12. Winning the toss and opting to bat, India impressively scored 410 for four.
Indian pacer Mohammed Siraj achieved the first dismissal for Rohit Sharma’s team, sending Dutch opener Wesley Barresi back early. Known for emulating Cristiano Ronaldo’s celebration style, Siraj was joined by Virat Kohli in a unique celebration this time.
Team India reached a milestone by posting their first 400-plus score in the ODI World Cup 2023. The match featured a strong opening partnership between Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill. Rohit, after contributing 61 runs, was succeeded by Kohli, who scored a half-century. Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul then took the lead, both scoring centuries and creating a 208-run partnership, a record fourth-wicket stand in ODI World Cup history and one of the highest by an Indian pair in ODIs.
India, under Rohit Sharma’s captaincy, has won all their matches in the tournament so far, showcasing a dominant performance. With their current form, the team aims to set a record by winning every game in the ODI World Cup league stage.
