Taking to X, Delhi police wrote: “If you take a U-turn at the wrong place, you’ll end up crashing like this.”

The post quickly went viral, with users sharing reactions.

In another post, Google India quipped in corporate-meeting humour: “This match could’ve been an email"

Bollywood joins the celebration

Ajay Devgn wrote on X, “This brilliant team makes winning look like a cakewalk. Kya khela hai (What a game)! (Raised hands and national flag emojis)."

Mammootty tweeted, “Congratulations to the Indian Cricket Team on their victory over Pakistan at the ICC Men’s T20WorldCup2026. A proud moment for the nation."

India vs Pakistan

India set a new record in the rivalry by scoring 175/7, setting a target of 176 for Pakistan.

Ishan Kishan’s blazing 77 and Jasprit Bumrah’s sharp spell powered India to a 61-run win and a Super Eight spot, though social media felt the match was one-sided from the start.

Pakistan suffered an early blow with Hardik Pandya sending Sahibzada Farhan back for a duck in the first over. In the following over, Saim Ayub’s top-edged six was followed by Bumrah knocking him over with a clinical Yorker.

Pakistan captain Salman Aliu Agha struck a boundary but fell on the very next delivery, leaving his side reeling at 13/3.
