We are all proud of Team India.
The match in Manchester was touched by high sentiment this time as relationship between India and Pakistan reached new low earlier this year following the Pulwama strike.
In Pulwama a terror attack on Feb 14 left 40 Indian paramilitary forces personnel killed.
Pakistan-based Jaish had claimed responsibility for it.
In retaliation, Indian Air Force planes entered Pakistan on February 26, the first time in nearly five decades, to bomb a Jaish facility.
Amid escalating tension between India and Pakistan, Abhinandan Varthaman was taken into custody earlier this year after his MiG-21 jet was downed during an engagement along the Line of Control (LoC).
Pakistan later released him.
Abhinandan advertisement slammed by netizens ahead of the India-Pakistan clash:
Indian social media users criticisied an advertisement aired by a Pakistani channel which has mimicked the video released on Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman by Pakistani military after he was captured a day after the Balakot airstrike earlier this year.
The ad was reportedly aired by Pakistan's Jazz TV.
In the advertisement, a model, who is made to look like the IAF officer wearing a Blue Jersey, answering questions on the camera.
Jazz TV advt on #CWC19 takes the Indo-Pak air duel to new level. It uses the air duel over Nowshera and Wing Co Abhinandan Varthaman's issue as a prop. @IAF_MCC @thetribunechd @SpokespersonMoD @DefenceMinIndia pic.twitter.com/30v4H6MOpU

The man in the advertisement could be seen repeating Abhinandan’s viral statement “I’m sorry, I am not supposed to tell you this” several times.
He answers them the statement when a voice is asking him questions on Indian team's toss strategy and playing XI.
The man could also be seen sipping tea from cup.
