Indian fans took to Twitter in a celebratory trolling spree after Australia's shocking exit from the T20 World Cup 2024 Super 8 stages. Afghanistan's victory over Bangladesh sealed Australia's fate, securing the last remaining semifinal spot from Group 1.

India had a significant hand in Australia's elimination, having defeated them by 24 runs in Gros Islet, St. Lucia, before Afghanistan delivered the final blow.

For many Indian fans, this moment was a sweet revenge for the defeat in the 50-over World Cup final last year in Ahmedabad, where Australia triumphed in front of approximately one million Indian spectators.

The memory of Pat Cummins' statement about wanting to silence the Indian crowd was still fresh, and fans didn't miss the chance to express their sentiments on Twitter while also showing solidarity with Afghanistan.

One Indian fan tweeted, "Thank you guys for helping us to take revenge on Australia 🥹 yes we did it 19 November ka badla pura hua inhe knocked out krke 🙌🏻." This sentiment was echoed by many who felt a sense of closure and satisfaction in seeing Australia eliminated.

The camaraderie between Indian and Afghan fans was also evident. A popular tweet read, "India 🤝🏻 Afghanistan 🇮🇳🇦🇫," highlighting the mutual celebration of Australia's exit.

An Indian fan admitted to their early morning dedication, tweeting, "The hatred for Australia is so strong that I'm up at 7AM following a Bangladesh vs Afghanistan game." This statement underscored the intensity of the rivalry and the lengths to which fans would go to see Australia out of the tournament.

Another tweet took a humorous jab at Australia's misfortune: "Congratulations Australia for successfully qualifying to Sydney Airport." The wit continued with, "Congratulations Australia! Your overconfidence was the perfect strategy... for getting eliminated. 😂 Better luck next time, if you can keep the arrogance in check!"

A fan expressed admiration for Afghanistan's efforts: "Congratulations Afghanistan in kicking Australia out of #T20WorldCup u got 2 Trinis at your side with Lara and Bravo so you got my support 🙌." This tweet celebrated not just the Afghan victory but also the contributions of cricketing legends Brian Lara and Dwayne Bravo to Afghanistan's success.

Finally, a straightforward but cutting tweet summed up the sentiment: "Arrogance makes you blind 👿👿." This echoed the general feeling that Australia's confidence had been their undoing.

The flood of tweets reflected a collective sense of justice and jubilation among Indian fans, marking a memorable moment in the 2024 T20 World Cup.
