Twitter reacts to India's Blind Cricket World Cup triumph

India defeated Pakistan to successfully retain the blind Cricket World cup. The effort was nothing less than heroic as the match went right down to the wire. Pakistan set a daunting target of 308 for the Indian team to chase down on the back of impressive contributions by Badar Munir and Risayat Khan.

India struggled in the second half of their chase but eventually got over the line with an over to spare and two wickets in the bag. Sunil Ramesh was the star with the bat for India as he scored 93 runs in 67 balls. He was aptly supported by skipper Ajay Reddy.

Wishes poured in from all quarters for the Indian team after this incredible triumph and Twitter was abuzz with congratulations after a momentous effort by the Indian team. Here are some reactions:

Our boys make us proud again. Wonderful to beat Pakistan and win the finals. Proud of the wonderful group @blind_cricket #BlindCricketWorldCup pic.twitter.com/qR8StJvXIY
