Great to see the CMs acknowledging the team's hard work. Cricket truly brings people together across state lines. As someone living in Hyderabad, the celebrations here are electric!
Three-time champions! 🏆 What an achievement. While the congratulations are nice, I hope both state governments also invest more in grassroots cricket facilities. We have so much raw talent in Andhra and Telangana that needs proper coaching and infrastructure.
Feeling so proud! Sanju Samson was brilliant behind the stumps and with the bat. He proved his critics wrong. Jai Hind!
Good to see leaders from different parties united in celebrating India's victory. This is the spirit we need. The team's hard work has paid off. Congratulations to all!
Amazing performance! The final was a nail-biter until Bumrah's spell. The whole nation is celebrating. Now, let's also support our women's cricket team with the same enthusiasm!
