Supported by the outstanding performance of fast bowler Mohammed Shami, who took an impressive seven wickets, the undefeated hosts secured a resounding 70-run win against New Zealand, solidifying their spot in the World Cup final.<\/p>\n<p>At Mumbai&#8217;s Wankhede Stadium, Kohli&#8217;s remarkable 117-run innings, complemented by Shreyas Iyer&#8217;s explosive 105, propelled India to an imposing total of 397 runs\u2014a performance reminiscent of their triumphant 2011 World Cup victory at the same venue.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking about their astounding win, India captain Rohit Sharma said that since he has played a lot of cricket on this ground, he knew any score on this ground wouldn\u2019t be enough. \u201cYou can&#8217;t relax. You&#8217;ve got to get the job done quickly and stay at it. We knew there would be pressure on us. We were very calm, even though we were a bit sloppy on the field. These things are bound to happen, but we&#8217;re glad we could get the job done,\u201d said Sharma, adding that it would be hard to say if India would&#8217;ve been in trouble had they scored 30-40 less.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey wouldn&#8217;t have taken those risks. Williamson and Mitchell batted brilliantly. It was important for us to stay calm. The crowd went silent, but we knew we needed a catch or run-out. Shami was brilliant. The form all the guys are in, the top five-six batters, whenever they&#8217;ve gotten an opportunity, they&#8217;ve made it count. We&#8217;re very pleased to see what Iyer has done for us in this tournament. Gill, the way he&#8217;s batted for us, has been brilliant. Unfortunately, he had to go off with cramps. Kohli did what he does, also got to his landmark century as well,\u201d said the skipper.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the England game, we got 230 on the board. The way bowlers bowled with the new ball was amazing. Today, obviously, being the semifinal, I won&#8217;t say there was no pressure; whenever you play, there&#8217;s pressure. The semifinal adds a bit extra, but we wanted to not think too much about it, just do what we&#8217;ve been doing like in the first nine games. Things came off for us nicely in the second half,\u201d said Sharma.<\/p>\n<p>Mohammed Shami, who was the Player of the Match for his figures of 7 for 57, said, &#8220;I was waiting for my chances. I didn&#8217;t play a lot of white-ball cricket. My return started against New Zealand in Dharamsala. We talk a lot about variations, but I still believe in pitching it up and getting wickets with the new ball. I dropped Williamson&#8217;s catch; I shouldn&#8217;t have. I felt terrible. But the focus was to try and take pace off, see if they&#8217;re hitting it in the air. It was a chance we had to take with the variations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe wicket was very good; lots of runs were scored in the afternoon. There was some fear of dew; the grass had been shaved off from the wicket. If dew was there, it skids on, and there&#8217;s a chance runs could&#8217;ve been made. It feels amazing with this kind of performance. In the last two World Cups, we lost in the semifinals. Who knows when or if we&#8217;ll get a chance, so we wanted to do everything for this one chance we didn&#8217;t want to let go,\u201d said Shami.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mumbai: In a stunning display of cricket prowess, India\u2019s Virat Kohli clinched his 50th century, marking a historic milestone while leading his team to a commanding victory.
