Team India celebrated their series win against New Zealand in a unique way. To mark the historic victory against the Kiwis, the men in blue chanted a popular dialogue from Bollywood movie, Uri: The Surgical Strike. The dialogue which has gained too much attention among politicians and others on social media has now been recreated by the Indian team.
The video has garnered more than 2 lakhs views on social media since shared by Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) official Twitter handle. BCCI captioned the video, “Looks like the "JOSH" in the squad is "HIGH SIR" 'HOWS THE JOSH' - @vickykaushal09 #TeamIndia”
