After the game, Abhishek remarked, “They came at us without reason, so I responded with my bat.” His flying kiss celebration went viral, symbolizing India’s calm yet dominant response.Across India, fans celebrated the win with fireworks and chants of “India Number One.” The victory came just days after India’s “Operation Sindoor” military success — making it a symbolic double strike.
