The high-voltage clash between India and Pakistan on Sunday grabbed attention from all corners of the world. The two arch-rivals played a thrilling contest which will be remembered for ages. Virat Kohli played a scintillating knock of unbeaten 82 runs as India emerged victorious by 4 wickets at Melbourne Cricket Ground. Both teams played quality cricket but in the end, Ravichandran Ashwin scored the winning run on the final ball to seal the game as India started their T20 World Cup campaign on a high.
Google CEO Sundar Pichai also took to Twitter and congratulated the Indian cricket team and said that he celebrated the last three again on Monday. He also wished everyone on the auspicious occasion of Diwali.

A Pakistan cricket team fan replied to Pichai’s tweet and asked him to watch the first three overs also. “you should watch 1st three overs," he tweeted. Apparently, the fan was referring to the first three overs of the second innings.
However, the Google CEO hit back and wrote: “Did that too:) what a spell from Bhuvi and Arshdeep."
