India's victory over Bangladesh was crucial in their quest for a semi-final berth in the T20 World Cup 2024. Led by Rohit Sharma, India set a challenging target of 196/5, their highest score in the tournament so far. Hardik Pandya played a key role with an unbeaten 50 runs off just 27 balls.

Bangladesh's chase faltered, ending at 146/8, with Hardik Pandya making significant impacts both with bat and ball, dismissing Litton Das and breaking the opening partnership.
Spinner Kuldeep Yadav also played a crucial role, taking three important wickets and finishing with impressive figures of 3-19. The comprehensive victory not only boosted India's chances in the tournament but also provided a celebratory backdrop for Pant's light-hearted social media post.
Overall, Pant's Instagram post added a touch of humour and camaraderie among the Indian cricket team members, showcasing their bond beyond the cricket field amidst their ongoing campaign in the T20 World Cup.
