Viral Video: West Indies team celebrate after win against India

After pulling off a huge upset beating tournament favorite India in the semi-final on their home turf, the West Indies team was understandably in a celebratory mood after sealing their date with England in the T20 World Cup final to be played at Eden Gardens.

The team’s distinctive dancing style has become all the rage. If it was Gangnam style in 2012, it is Bravo's team anthem '‘Champion' in 2016 World Cup.

Incidentally, the women’s team also will play in the final of the T20 World Cup which is being held concurrently and they were also not far behind in their celebrations.

An emotional Sammy said the West Indies had their backs to the wall before shocking India by seven wickets to emulate their women's team, who also won their semi-final hours earlier.

After the West Indies won the Under-19 World Cup in February, a double victory in Kolkata on Sunday would seal an unprecedented treble and hint at a cricketing revival for the islands after years of decline.

Sammy's team, champions in 2012, will face England in Sunday's men's title match while the West Indies women will play their first World Twenty20 final against Australia.

West Indies captain Darren Sammy said he hopes to help Caribbean fans smile again by completing a unique hat-trick at the World Twenty20 after stunning India to reach the final.
