Mumbai:
Bollywood celebrities including Abhishek Bachchan, Arjun Rampal and Preity Zinta today congratulated Australia for their easy win in the ICC Cricket World Cup final against New Zealand.
Australia clinched the coveted ICC Cricket World Cup for the fifth time after the bowlers produced a clinical performance scuttling out New Zealand for 183.
“Congratulations to Australia for winning the Cricket World Cup 2015,” tweeted Bachchan.
His “Happy New Year” co-star Boman Irani wrote, “Outstanding Australia! While being interviewed, they seem like boys. On the field, they turn into giant men! #CWC15Final #AUSvNZ.”
“Congratulations Australia for your 5th World Cup Victory... And Well played through the tournament NZ... #CWC15 #AUSvNZ,” Zinta tweeted.
The win was a perfect farewell gift to skipper Michael Clarke, who played a key role with a 74-run knock in his final ODI appearance.
“Goodbye Michael Clarke what an outstanding career. Congratulations the new World Champions. You all deserved it for sure. #austruechampions,” Rampal tweeted Riteish Deshmukh said, “Michael Clarke & team Australia Congratulations- World Champs.”
Saqib Saleem said, “Well done Aussies!! But I expected a better final #CWC15Final.”
“Well played, New Zealand. Fantastic performance, Australia. A long, but fairly satisfying tournament. #CWC15,” wrote Rahul Bose.
