New Delhi: India’s men’s team skipper Virat Kohli congratulated the Harmanpreet Kaur-led women’s side for reaching its maiden final of the T20 World Cup in Australia, saying the outfit’s performance is something to be “proud” of.
The Indian women’s team advanced to the summit clash owing to a superior group stage record, after the semifinal clash against England was abandoned without a ball being bowled at the Sydney Cricket Ground due to persistent rain.
“Congratulations to the Indian Women’s team on qualifying for the @T20WorldCup final. We are proud of you girls and wish you all the luck for the finals,” Kohli tweeted.

“A reward for winning all the matches in the group stage. Congratulations @BCCIWomen and wishing you glory this Sunday #T20WorldCup,” Sehwag said.
