India’s narrow but thrilling victory over arch-rivals Pakistan in the T20 World Cup 2024 match on Sunday sparked a national celebration. Social media exploded with congratulatory messages, memes and jubilant posts from fans across the country. The wave of celebration even reached the Delhi Police Department, who delivered a hilarious tweet acknowledging the high-octane encounter.
Lighthearted post from Delhi Police
Taking to their social media platform (X), the Delhi Police Department made a lighthearted reference to the India-Pakistan match held at New York’s Nassau County International Stadium. In a tweet directed at the New York Police Department (@NYPDnews), they humorously inquired if the loud noises heard were celebrations of “Indiaaa..India!” or perhaps the shattering of televisions.
Hey, @NYPDnews
We heard two loud noises. One is “Indiaaa..India!”, and another is probably of broken televisions. Can you please confirm?#INDvsPAK#INDvPAK#T20WorldCup
