Love seeing Bollywood and cricket come together like this! Anil Kapoor's analysis was spot on. Samson showed incredible maturity. The Eden Gardens atmosphere must have been electric! 🎉
Great win, but let's not get carried away. The top order still looks shaky. We need Kohli and Rohit to fire in the semi-final. Celebrity tweets are fun, but the real test is ahead. Jai Hind!
Watching from Canada! The passion for cricket in India is incredible. Samson played a champion's innings. Good luck in the semi-finals, Team India!
Bas ab final tak jaana hai! The whole country is with you, boys. Suryakumar's cameo was crucial too. Let's bring the cup home this time! 💙
As a sports fan, that was a masterclass in chasing. The pressure at Eden Gardens is immense, and Samson handled it like a pro. Well done, India.
