“U-19 World Cup Champions! What a special moment! Congratulations girls on your triumph,” Kohli had tweeted.

Soon after Kohli’s tweet,  Soumya Tiwari, one of the members of the U19 World Cup-winning team, responded to Kohli's tweet.

She shared a screenshot of the tweet and wrote, “Is this real?”

“Like seriously, what else u can ask for after the World Cup ..”

Soumya is a huge fan of Virat Kohli and wears the same jersey (number 18) that Kohli wears. In the final match of the tournament, she scored an unbeaten 24 in the run chase and helped India win the game.

Post winning the title, BCCI secretary Jay Shah also declared a cash prize of ₹5 crores for the India squad.

Women’s Cricket in India is on the upswing and the World Cup triumph has taken the stature of women’s cricket several notches higher. I am delighted to announce INR 5 crore for the entire team and support staff as prize money. This is surely a path-breaking year.
