On Thursday, the women in blue sealed their spot in the semi-finals of the Women’s World T20 after another easy win by a decent margin of 52 runs. Harmanpreet Kaur’s side have been unbeaten in the tournament so far and have gone strength to strength in every game they have played so far. Now, the Indian team has also found support in men’s captain Virat Kohli and other players, who posted messages on social media for the team.
Kohli wrote, “We’re on our way to the semi-finals.. and it’s time to back Team India to bring home the World Cup! #JerseyKnowsNoGender.”
