Nagpur, India: The streets of Nagpur came alive as fans celebrated India's victory over Pakistan in Dubai during the Champions Trophy match. The city turned into a festive scene, with firecrackers lighting up West High Court Road, much like Diwali.
Fans gathered in large numbers and organised a victory rally down Dharampeth. They danced to the beat of drums and cymbals, while cars and two-wheelers filled the streets. Many cheered loudly as Virat Kohli hit a four to seal India's win. One young supporter, wearing an India blue T-shirt, said, "Kohli is the greatest."
Across the border, popular Pakistani YouTubers did not hold back. One YouTuber, Wasay Habib, praised Kohli by saying, "Who is the uncrowned king of cricket? Virat Kohli, only Virat Kohli," and criticised the performance of Pakistan's team. Another YouTuber, Syed Muzammil, joked about Pakistan's unpredictable performance and explained why Fakhar Zaman was absent after an injury.
Former Pakistani greats such as Wasim Akram and Shoaib Akhtar also shared their thoughts on the game. Their comments, along with the jibes from other YouTubers, added to the lively banter following the match.
In Nagpur, as sweets were distributed and the crowd enjoyed the celebrations, police ensured that the enthusiastic rally remained well organised and peaceful.
