Patel blew a yellow vuvuzela like a child on every boundary scored. She also kept waving the tricolour. While talking to the media, Patel said that the Indian players are like her kids. "I love this Indian team and all the players are like my kids," she was quoted saying to a leading channel.
Patel, who is said to keep a close track of the team, wishes to be present when India lifts the World Cup at the iconic Lord's on July 14.
The Men in Blue road on a brilliant 104 from Rohit Sharma -- his fourth century in this edition of the showpiece event -- to post 314/9 in their 50 overs. Defending 314, in-form Shakib al Hasan was the only real threat for the Indian bowlers as the Bangladesh batsmen came out pretty subdued in their chase. And once Hardik Pandya sent back Shakib for 66 in the 34th over, it was advantage India.
Meanwhile, vice-captain Rohit Sharma surpassed David Warner to become the leading run-getter in the ongoing World Cup after scoring his fourth hundred of the tournament.
