Celebration of India's narrow six-run win over arch rival Pakistan in New York on Sunday spilled outside Nassau County International Cricket Stadium. Videos of hundreds, if not thousands, of Team India fans singing, beating drums and dancing on their way out of the stadium is doing rounds on social media.
Jasprit Bumrah's three-wicket haul which applied pressure on Pakistan batters and a counter-attacking, match-saving knock by Rishabh Pant powered India to a narrow win which has kept the country's World Cup dreams alive with two more group stage games to go.
