IND vs ENG, 2024 T20 World Cup: Ex-India cricketer Yuvraj Singh, who is also the ambassador of the ongoing tournament posted a hilarious tweet on his official X account after the Men in Blue thrashed England in the semifinal. Yuvraj took to his official X account and congratulated the Indian team and took a subtle dig at England and wished them “Good night in-laws”. Yuvraj got married to Hazel Keech, who is a British actress and model and that is how Yuvraj relates to England. But at the same time, he was ecstatic with India’s victory as they eliminated England and qualified for the summit clash of the 2024 T20 World Cup.  

The Rohit Sharma-led side took their sweet revenge for the 2022 T20 World Cup semifinal loss after defeating England in Guyana on Thursday. The semifinal clash turned out to be a semifinal affair as the Men in Blue completely dominated both with the bat and ball.
