This victory was very special for the Indian team as it defeated New Zealand, ending a 20-year drought in ICC events. Let us tell you who were the 5 heroes of India's victory.
1) Mohammed Shami - The Indian team's fast bowler Mohammed Shami played his first match in the World Cup 2023 and performed brilliantly.
