Humans of Bombay on Instagram: "History repeats, history defeats! After the 2023 World Cup finals heartbreak and the brutal Super 8 loss earlier this year, the ‘curse’ at Ahmedabad stadium felt real. But tonight, the ghosts finally left the building. Watching Sanju, Abhishek, and Ishan fearlessly power us to a record 255 felt like we were finally taking back everything we’d lost. And when the defense began, it was pure heart. Bumrah was at his magical best with five massive strikes, while Axar turned the game on its head with three crucial wickets of his own. Right there, you could literally feel the weight of every past heartbreak lifting off our shoulders. To finally beat New Zealand, defend the title twice, and lift our third trophy on the very ground that broke us? That’s poetic justice. So tonight, chain se sona, India. The curse is dead, and the Cup is staying home!"
