From Shahid Kapoor to Esha Gupta, Bollywood world hailed Indian cricketers especially Ravindra Jadeja and MS Dhoni for putting up a good fight against the Black Caps.

When you top the table you prove you are the best in the world. And a bad day is just a bad day. Team India was the best in this world cup. No doubt. Proud of them. #TeamIndia #bleedblueforever

As these thumbs sadly type the unthinkable, its only fair to applaud New Zealand for this outstanding effort👏👏👏. They read it better they worked it better.
