President Pranab Mukherjee on Sunday congratulated the Indian cricket team for their spectacular win over arch-rivals Pakistan in the World Cup match at the Adelaide Oval in Australia.
The President took to twitter and wished the Indian team good luck for the remaining matches of the tournament.
"Congratulations Indian Team on victory in ICC World Cup's first match; wish you continued success in coming matches," President Mukherjee tweeted.
Earlier in the day, India kicked off their World Cup campaign by beating Misbah-ul Haq-led side by 76 runs to keep their record of never losing to Pakistan in a World Cup tournament intact.
Man of the Match Virat Kohli's splendid ton helped India put up a 301-run target for Pakistan.
Kohli put up a 129 run second-wicket partnership with opener Shikhar Dhawan, who scored 73, then went on to put up a third-wicket partnership of 110 runs with Suresh Raina, who hit 74 runs off 56 deliveries.
India, which is placed in Pool B of the tournament, plays its next match against South Africa on February 22.
