In other news, India defeated Pakistan in the #T20WorldCup match at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground by 4 wickets

Here are various reactions to this win:

➡Indian Express Headline -
"And The Hindus Humiliated Muslims in Melbourne'.

➡Pakistan Govt denies that it ever sent a cricket team to Melbourne. It says the evidence provided by India is doctored. It challenges India to produce "unequivocal evidence" & not merely claim it won the match yesterday.

➡ Congress and AAP has supported Pakistan's claim.

➡ Arundhati Roy has claimed that whilst Prima Facie there is no evidence that India defeated Pakistan, if it did so, it was a gross violation of the rights of innocent Pakistanis. She plans to go to International Human Rights Commission for getting this investigated

➡Prashant Bhushan plans to take this to Supreme Court at around 2 am

➡ Chief Advisor to Rahul Gandhi, Shri Sam Pitroda claimed in fact Pakistan won the match citing the data from the Congress Shakti app.

➡Shashi Tharoor has said it is an "exasperating farrago of distortions, misrepresentations & outright lies being broadcast by an unprincipled showman masquerading as a Cricket Body". When the journalist tried to search for the meaning of Tharoor's words, the computer crashed

➡ Nidhi Razdan meanwhile ousted Sambit Patra from the debate when he claimed that Pakistan lost the match

➡and Ravish Kumar could not be seen since the NDTV Hindi screen was kept black in mourning

➡West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee issued a press statement in which she said that if Pakistan lost, it was probably due to "hacking of the scoreboard" and challenged ICC to have a rematch without using modern technologies

➡Shekhar Gupta Wrote an article in The Print - Punjabi Khatri Virat Kohli didn't show any mercy and scored a ruthless century against Minorities exposing worrying signs of hyper nationalism and jingoism against minorities.

➡Rana Ayyub – Virat Kohli’s half-century had Hindutva aggression and Brahmanical masculinity written all over it. Not acceptable at all.

➡Barkha Dutt will organise - Smash Brahmanical Patriarchy Campaign tomorrow at India's Twitter Office

➡600 Theatre Artists, 100 Filmmakers, 103 Economists, Civil society groups and Award Wapsi brigade has issued a Combine statement urging Indians to boycott Cricket , as this game is damaging the unity & integrity of India

Portal @thewire_in takes a video of a gully cricket match in Minjur, claims that Pakistan wins after doctoring it. Gets called out, but claims Harsha Bhogle and Don Bradman verified their claims.

Then take everything down saying an internal investigation will be done
