Jubilant fans over the moon after India win

Raising pro-India and proVirat Kohli slogans, the jubilant fans waved tricolour and burst into celebrations after India won here. “I had come here to watch India win. It was a big match for us. 

The scenes here reminded me of the mood which prevailed among fans way back in World Cup 2011 when we defeated Pakistan by 29 runs. I had watched that match too,” said Gaurav Marwah, a local entrepreneur, who had come to watch the match here. Even die-hard Pakistan cricket fan Mohd Bashir, who had been watching the games featuring Pakistan team earlier, was also excited to be part of today’s game. “Dhoni is my favourite cricketer,” he remarked before the match.
