ICC World Cup Final 2023: The ruling BJP wished luck to the Indian cricket team ahead of the much-anticipated clash with Australia in the final of the ICC ODI Cricket World Cup 2023.  “Come on Team India! We believe in you!” the BJP wrote on X. The Congress, while agreeing with its arch rival’s sentiment, did not however miss out on replying with a snide remark as the party retweeted the BJP’s post.

“True that! JEETEGA INDIA!” (India will win), the Congress wrote while retweeting the BJP’s post, cleverly referring to the INDIA opposition bloc which hopes to oust the BJP from power in next year’s Lok Sabha elections.

True that!

JEETEGA INDIA 🇮🇳 https://t.co/nLEInv14WR

India is the only unbeaten side in the World Cup tournament so far with ten wins on the trot. Team India steam-rolled all opponents in the group stages and then went over New Zealand in the semi-finals on the back of splendid centuries by Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer and yet another menacing bowling performance by Mohammad Shami who ended up with a 7-wicket haul and was named Man of the Match for his contribution.

Jam-packed crowds at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Gujarat’s Ahmedabad, along with 1.4 billion countrymen are cheering on the national side as India hopes to win the World Cup for a third time in history.
