The Indian cricket team achieved a significant victory over New Zealand in the World Cup semi-final, securing a spot in the final match. The team’s success was attributed to Virat Kohli’s record-breaking 50th ODI hundred, Shreyas Iyer’s impressive century, and Mohammed Shami’s outstanding performance in bowling.
The entire nation, as well as social media platforms, celebrated this momentous win by sharing messages, videos, and memes related to the match. Even the Mumbai and Delhi police joined in the celebration with a lighthearted exchange on Twitter.
The conversation began with the Delhi Police account playfully suggesting that the Mumbai Police should not book Mohammed Shami for his “assault” during the match. The Mumbai Police responded quickly, humorously accusing the Delhi Police of not charging Shami for “stealing innumerable hearts” and listing some co-accused as well.
The Mumbai Police’s tweet read, “You missed pressing charges of stealing innumerable hearts @DelhiPolice and listing a couple of co-accused too. P.S.: Dear citizens, both the departments know the IPC thoroughly and trust you for a great sense of humour.”
The banter continued as Special Commissioner Mumbai, Deven Bharti, joined the conversation and defended Shami’s performance. He stated that it qualifies as the “Right of Self-Defence,” highlighting the exceptional performance of the Indian cricket team.
Mohammed Shami’s outstanding performance in the semi-final match against New Zealand deserves special mention. He took seven wickets for 57 runs, making it the best bowling figure achieved by any Indian bowler in an ODI match.
The nation eagerly awaits the final match of the World Cup, where India will strive to bring home the trophy.
