Legends react as India seal semi-final spot in World Cup with thrilling victory
India have done it again. After knocking Bangladesh out in 2015 WC, they repeated it again on Tuesday although it wasn’t a cakewalk with Bangladesh fighting tooth and nail before eventually falling short to a hefty target. Cricket fraternity heaped praise on the team for yet another win.
Rohit Sharma was absolutely brilliant!
Congratulations to #TeamIndia for making it to the #CWC19 semi-finals. It turned out to be a thriller of a game.

Loving the way Rohit is batting in this tournament & shouldering the responsibility consistently. #INDvBAN pic.twitter.com/FM2gpEyXck
Boom boom Bumrah!
What a spell by @Jaspritbumrah93 ! We focus to much on the batting but without this man & @MdShami11 our journey in this world cup wouldn't have been possible just brilliant to watch one of the greatest Indian fast bowlers to ever grace the cricket field. #CWC2019

Big match for us tomorrow. #INDvBANG #cwc2019
This has to be the best moment of the match!
Also would like to thank all our fans for all the love & support & especially Charulata Patel ji. She's 87 and probably one of the most passionate & dedicated fans I've ever seen. Age is just a number, passion takes you leaps & bounds. With her blessings, on to the next one. 🙏🏼😇 pic.twitter.com/XHII8zw1F2

Stellar performance by our bowler!
Top class from @Jaspritbumrah93 cleaning it up for India. @hardikpandya7 did a fantastic job took 3 big wickets, most importantly that of @Sah75official. Upwards from here👊#INDvBAN #CWC19

Well played Bangladesh!
Got to admire Bangladesh’s attitude right through the tournament. They are no pushovers. A little more depth in the bowling department and they’ll be winning a lot more...well done, neighbours 👏👏 #IndvBan #CWC19

A reason to worry!
A great win for us today but I still believe our middle order when under pressure may succumb. We were 180/1 after almost 30 overs today but ended up with only 314. That means just 134 in 20 overs with 9 wickets. What if our openers have a bad day? #INDvBAN #CWC19 pic.twitter.com/lRZUWOjS35

Jasprit Bumrah is such a superstar. Terrific in the end. But have to complement Bangladesh on the fantastic fight and getting so close, especially after Shakib got out.

Congratulations Team India #IndvBan
Bumrah bowled a fantastic spell!
Congratulations India on a well deserved win and cementing a place in the semi-finals. Bumrah was superb in the end but have to admire @BCBtigers for the magnificent spirit and fight they showed in the end. #IndvBan
