T20 World Cup 2022: "Time now to take back Lagaan" - Twitterati erupt in joy as India trump Zimbabwe to set up semi-final clash against England

Team India delivered a clinical performance against Zimbabwe in their final group-stage match of the ongoing T20 World Cup 2022 on Sunday, November 6.

The Men in Blue secured a comfortable 71-run victory at the Melbourne Cricket Ground to finish as the table-toppers in Group 2. India, after electing to bat first, registered an impressive total of 186 thanks to fine half-centuries from Suryakumar Yadav (61*) and KL Rahul (51).

They followed it up with an inspired show with the ball, bundling out Zimbabwe for a paltry score of 115. The veteran spinner Ravichandran Ashwin bagged three wickets for his side, while Mohammad Shami and Hardik Pandya finished with two scalps each.

Several fans took to social media to commend Rohit Sharma and Co. for their impactful performances in the fixture to claim the top spot in their group. Here are some of the reactions:

Congratulations Team India on a convincing win. Time now to take back Lagaan. ๐Ÿ˜… #INDvsZIM https://t.co/FwGIcfwa1o
