India’s T20 World Cup clash with Pakistan ended in a commanding victory for India. From political leaders to Bollywood celebrities, celebrations poured in while memes flooded the internet. Among those praising Team India’s performance was Union Minister Piyush Goyal, who lauded the side with a ‘Dhurandhar’ reference.

Taking to X, Goyal shared a clip from the match and wrote on X, “Team India dominated the field like true Dhurandhars! A brilliant performance, seamless teamwork, and a powerful finish.

India vs Pakistan T20 World Cup

India beat Pakistan by 61 runs in the T20 World Cup, sealing qualification for the Super Eight stage after a largely one-sided contest. Batting first, India posted 175/7, powered by Ishan Kishan’s 77 off 40 balls on a difficult Premadasa surface. Pakistan’s chase never settled — early wickets put them under pressure and the innings kept slipping away, especially during Jasprit Bumrah’s spell, which broke the top order and halted any momentum.

Pakistan were eventually bowled out well short of the target, turning what is usually a tense rivalry into a comfortable win built on both aggressive batting and disciplined bowling.

Memes Flood Internet

Social media erupted with jokes and memes after Pakistan slumped to seven wickets down inside 12 overs in the high-pressure T20 World Cup 2026 clash against India.

Much of the chatter centred on Babar Azam, who drew heavy online roast after his dismissal during the chase at the Premadasa Stadium in Sri Lanka. Seen as the key player expected to steady the innings, he failed to find rhythm and was removed cheaply by Axar Patel. Within minutes, fans flooded timelines with sarcastic “Real Dhurandar" memes.
