Rohit Sharma-led Indian team picked up their seventh consecutive win in the ODI World Cup 2023, as they defeated Sri Lanka by 302 runs to seal their place in the World Cup semifinals. Chasing 358 runs, Sri Lanka folded for a mere 55, after Mohammed Shami’s fifer, before Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj set the stage with a fiery opening spell.

India became the first team to qualify for the semifinals, following their seventh victory in the World Cup, with 14 points on the board, they leapfrogged South Africa to reclaim the top spot once again.

The dominant show from the Indian players was lauded by plenty of dignitaries, former players and others.
