Fantastic win, no doubt. But can we please talk about the real heroes for a moment? The coaching staff and the selectors who backed these young players. That's where the victory was truly built.

While I love the celebrity cheers, I hope the players themselves get the maximum spotlight and rewards. They are the ones who sweated it out on the field. Well done, Team India! You've made us proud.
