Solution
Verified by Toppr

'Won' which in the simple past tense form is used to denote an action that occurred in the past. The given sentence speaks about the victory of India in the past, which is ‘yesterday’. Therefore option C is correct.On the other hand ‘win’ and ‘wins’ are both examples of simple present tense; the former is used for plural nouns and the latter for singular nouns. They are used to talk about actions that happen repeatedly in the present and to denote general truths/ statements. Hence 'win’ and ‘wins’ cannot be used, as in the given context the action occurred in the past and the statement doesn’t refer to any general truths. Thus options A and B are incorrect. Similarly, ‘had won’ cannot be used because ‘had won’ is an example of past perfect tense. It is used to refer to something that happened at some point in the past, before another action occurred, in the past. As the sentence speaks about only one action that occurred in the past, option D is incorrect.
