In a commanding display, India secured an undefeated record in the Cricket World Cup 2023 group stage, overpowering Netherlands by 160 runs in Bengaluru. On the day of Diwali, Shreyas and Rahul lit up the M Chinnaswamy Stadium with dazzling fireworks, stitching a marathon 208-run stand before the latter got out in the final over. Stunning centuries from Shreyas Iyer (128*) and KL Rahul (102) powered India's total to a formidable 410/4. Earlier, Gill (51), Rohit (61) and Kohli (62) all notched fifties as the Dutch bowlers struggled. Despite a strong start by Netherlands, India's bowlers, led by Mohammed Siraj and Ravindra Jadeja, dismantled their batting lineup, restricting them to 250. India's clinical performance sets a strong tone as they head into the knockout stage of the tournament.
