BCCI's honorary secretary Jay Shah said the star batter 'inspired millions worldwide with his heroics with the bat and immaculate display of character'
England were too strong for Senegal as the Three Lions stormed into the quarterfinals of the World Cup with a 3-0 victory over the Africans on Sunday.
Goals from Jordan Henderson, Harry Kane and Bukayo Saka set up England's mouth-watering quarterfinal clash with defending champions France.
France had earlier beaten Poland 3-1 in their round of clash on Sunday.
While France were brilliant against the spirited Poles, Senegal failed to up a fight with a young and fearless England team.
England showed their attacking intent from the start and deservedly took a two-goal first half lead through Henderson (38th minute) and Kane (third minute of injury time in first half).
Saka then put the game to bed with a fine finish in the 57th minute.
Senegal couldn't keep pace with England's intensity as the 2018 World Cup semifinalists will now face France with a lot of confidence.
