NEW DELHI: India hammered defending champions England in the semifinal on Thursday to set up a T20 World Cup final against South Africa.

Chasing 172, England collapsed to 103 all out in 16.4 overs, with Kuldeep Yadav finishing with 3/19 and Axar Patel taking 3/23.

A video is going viral where an emotional and relieved skipper Rohit Sharma is sitting outside the dressing room as the Indian cricketers are making their way back.

As the Indian captain reflects on the 68-run victory, Virat Kohli walks upto him and tries to cheer him up by giving him a pat on the shoulder.

Suryakumar Yadav, who put up a 73-run stand with Rohit during the Indian innings, also pats the knee of his captain to cheer him up, who looks overwhelmed after guiding India to their second successive World Cup final.

India, who are vying for their first major victory since the 2013 Champions Trophy, will take on South Africa in the final at Kensington Oval in Barbados on Saturday.

The Proteas are also undefeated after crushing Afghanistan by nine wickets in their semifinal.

After losing to Australia in the 50-over World Cup final played at home last year, India will be playing in their second consecutive World Cup final.
