Unsurprisingly, India demonstrated its superiority by defeating Pakistan by seven wickets. Not only this, but it also extended its perfect record to eight triumphs in a row against the longtime rival in ODI World Cups. Opting to bowl first, the Indian team efficiently dismissed Pakistan for a modest 191 runs. Not only but also India culminated its innings swiftly in the 31st over. The victory was sealed by Shreyas Iyer’s unbeaten 53 and captain Rohit Sharma’s commanding 86, earning praise from cricket greats like Virender Sehwag and Sachin Tendulkar.
The jubilation wasn’t confined to the cricketing fraternity; it spilled over into the digital realm. The internet reverberated with joy, with major entities like MakeMyTrip seizing the moment to celebrate.
