The skies in Siliguri were filled with colourful fireworks, while the crowd in Kanpur went wild celebrating cheering with posters and flags.

"India is victorious, was victorious and will remain victorious. Bharat Mata Ki Jai... India won again under the captaincy of Suryakumar Yadav. The way Sanju Samson hit a big score and then Shivam Dube hit 24 in the last overs, it created a lot of pressure on New Zealand," one of them said speaking to ANI.
