One of the most anticipated matches of the group stages in the Cricket Word Cup 2023 between arch rivals India and Pakistan came to an end at the Narendra Modi stadium in Ahmedabad on Saturday with India defeating Pakistan by 7 wickets. It was a comprehensible win for India as Pakistan only managed to put up a total of 191 runs on the board for India to chase. The victory is the eighth consecutive triumph of India over Pakistan in the World Cup, starting 1992.
Indian captain Rohit Sharma played a crucial role with his bat in India chasing down the total set by Pakistan. Sharma made a quickfire 50 of 36 balls and went on to score 86 runs in just 63 balls. Shreyas Iyer also made an unbeaten 53 runs.
As soon as the victory run was scored, the country broke into jubilation. Microbloggign site X, formerly Twitter, was flooded with memes and humorous posts celebrating the emphatic victory of men in blue over Pakistan.
"Literally me enjoying India's win, forgetting all the worst things that happened to me frm past 1 week," wrote one X user and shared a dance sequence from a South Indian movie.
"fans run out of stadium to escape social media after India win against Pakistan. Baap Baap hamesha baap hota hai," commented another user.
