Indian cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar led the list of congratulatory messages for Team India after they reached their second consecutive ICC Champions Trophy final by beating Bangladesh by nine wickets, to face Pakistan in the finals on Thursday.

He also commended India’s batting.
VVS Laxman also congratulated the team.
