Watch: The horrific moment when the crowd chanted the Indian national anthem at the Melbourne Ground

 

Fans celebrate after India beat Pakistan by 4 wickets during the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2022 Super 12 Group 2 match at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

• Before India beat Pakistan in the first match of the ICC T20 World Cup, there was a moment's goosebumps at the Melbourne Ground as the crowd chanted the national anthem

India defeated Pakistan by four wickets to conclude the thrilling match between India and Pakistan on Sunday. Everyone knows that this victory was more than just a simple victory and since Pakistan defeated India in the same tournament last year, Indians have been waiting for this day.

Watching a match on a TV set at your home is completely different from watching it on the field. That atmosphere of cricket and the level of emotion in the arena plays out differently.

A video posted on Twitter by Mumbai Police captures similar sentiments of Indians at the Melbourne Cricket Ground singing India's national anthem.

This 68 second video not only gave goosebumps to the people watching it, but the players on the field also got emotional, Rohit Sharma got tears in his eyes. One can feel the energy of the emotions of the game very naturally by watching this video.

Indian win over Pakistan is definitely the best start the team can get in this World Cup. Last year, after losing to Pakistan, India could not return to their top game and suffered consecutive defeats. This win will surely serve as an impetus for the players and everyone will try their best to bring the Cup back home after 15 years.

Next, India will take on the Netherlands at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) on October 27 and South Africa at the Perth Stadium on October 30.

Indian captain Rohit Sharma lauded the team's performance and expressed confidence in winning this year's World Cup.

"I really liked it. It felt really cool. We talked about a few things in our team meetings and things like that. We talked about how we wanted to use our big range And want to challenge the batsmen a little bit. You've got to get a sense of what the pitch is doing at times. That back part of the length, a little back of the length, a little full, wasn't easy to hit, And what happened in today's game will tell you," Rohit Sharma said in a press conference.
