Here is a collection of the best memes:
"The match was done and dusted in the powerplay itself"- India captain Hardik Pandya
Speaking at the post-match presentation, Hardik Pandya reflected on the victory, saying:
"If I be very honest, I look forward to these sort of games. This was more than an international game. We knew what was at stake. The ways the boys came out and the way they enjoyed themselves. This is just what I want and want them to cherish whatever comes their way."
He added:
"Scoring 350 was crucial. If the luck is in our side when a side is chasing a big score, it keeps going your way. West Indies woke up a bit late and took the game to the 34th over but the match was done and dusted in the powerplay iself. This is one of the nicest ground I have played here."
The five-match T20I series between the two teams will commence on Thursday, August 3.
