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.
Sudhir Kumar Choudhary, a superfan of legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar and Team India, was extremely happy with the performance of Men in Blue bowlers in this historic encounter. "It is an unbelievable win. When India scored 119 runs, I thought Pakistan would easily win this game. But, this turned out to be a historical match. Bumrah and all other bowlers bowled well," he told news agency ANI.
Another fan said that Bumrah's spell was game-changing and marked India's comeback in the game. "India's comeback, especially the bowling of Bumrah was special. It changes the course of the game. We are really happy. It is a great victory," said the fan.
Spectators found the game worth every second and had been at the stadium since the morning and they did not miss a ball. "We have been here since morning, and this match was worth every second. It was India's game," said a fan.
