ICC Champions Trophy: Twitterati praises Virat Kohli & Co for reaching second consecutive finals with comprehensive win over Bangladesh

Men in Blue, who defeated England in 2013 edition to become winners, have now reached their second consecutive final in a row.

New Delhi: Indian cricket team played like true champions against Bangladesh in the second semi-final in ICC Champions Trophy where they registered a comprehensive nine-wicket win.

Men in Blue made a mockery of Bangladesh's 265-run target as Rohit Sharma (123* off 129 balls) and Virat Kohli (96* off 78 balls) added an unbeaten 178-run stand for second wicket to guide the team into the finals.

Wishes poured in from all corners as India made it to consecutive finals in the ICC Champions Trophy.

Aakash Chopra: Restricting Bangladesh to 264 and then chasing it down with 9 wickets and 9 overs to spare...well, that's called Domination. Well done
