Team India observed the India Space Research Organisation (ISRO) make history as Chandrayaan-3 accomplished a smooth touchdown on the southern pole of the moon, establishing India as the pioneer in achieving this accomplishment. The mission commenced on July 14 and concluded on Wednesday, August 23. This effort marked a second try after Chandrayaan-2’s unfortunate crash landing four years earlier.

India has now joined an exclusive group consisting of only the United States of America, China, and Russia, by achieving a successful landing on the lunar surface. Similar to numerous Indians, the Indian cricket team, known as the Men in Blue, were also engrossed in watching the momentous event unfold on screen.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) posted a video clip showcasing Team India players, including captain Jasprit Bumrah, Rinku Singh, and Ravi Bishnoi, among others, enthusiastically applauding the successful moon landing of Chandrayaan-3.

The caption of the post: “Witnessing History from Dublin! The moment India’s Vikram Lander touched down successfully on the Moon’s South Pole.”
