So nice to see Rohit smiling. He's given us so many memories against Pakistan. The team is in great hands with SKY leading. But honestly, the real test will be in the knockouts. Hope we keep this momentum.

Watching from the US, the excitement was unreal even here! Ishan Kishan's innings was a masterclass. The way he targeted the off-side was brilliant. Great to see a dominant performance.

A win against Pakistan always feels special. But let's not get carried away. The middle order still looked a bit shaky after Kishan got out. We need more contributions from others in big games.
