'Two crucial moments defined our victory': Sachin Tendulkar pinpoints TURNING POINT of IND vs AUS

After defeating Australia, Team India officially served their retribution. As they count on Bangladesh to make it to the semifinals, the Men in Blue have reduced the Mitchell Marsh-led team's prospects of moving on. Even though the club lost out on its star player, Virat Kohli, on a duck, Rohit Sharma's onslaught was on display as he mowed down some of the best bowlers in the competition. The captain's amazing pace and brilliant knock have helped India stay unbeaten in the tournament. Legendary Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar expressed his happiness following the game as his country secured a semifinal berth to maintain their ambitions.

“Well done, India! Two crucial moments defined our victory today: @akshar2026's brilliant catch at the boundary and @Jaspritbumrah93's wicket of Travis Head. Can't wait for the semi-finals!” Tendulkar tweeted.

After Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant lost their wickets early on, the middle order greatly benefited the Indian captain, who was an absolute beast at the bat. Even though Virat's form is still declining, Arshdeep's three wickets with the ball did not reflect the team's momentum. Axar took one, Kuldeep Yadav took two, and Jasprit Bumrah handled Travis Head as they stopped the Aussies before they could achieve the objective.

Team India won the inaugural T20 World Cup title in 2007 and are yet to win another title. Given their tenacity and grit, it looks like this year could be the one for the team as they have been putting up strong performances. India will now face England in the second semifinal of the T20 World Cup.
