Actor Mahie Gill, who watched the match, shared her happiness about India's win and told news agency ANI, "I am very happy for my team and for India... they performed really well..."

Vivek Oberoi tweeted, “Ye mauka bhi..….gaya (This chance was also lost). Absolute mammoth 77 off 40 balls by Ishan Kishan and kicka** early wickets by @Jaspritbumrah93 and @hardikpandya7. My ears are ringing from my own screaming throughout the match! More and more power to our men in Blue! #IndvsPak.”

However, Kunal Kohli called it the most boring match between the two archrivals. He wrote, “This has to go down in history as the most boring #INDvsPAK match EVER. Too one-sided. #Pakistan is nowhere near this #India team. This is not the greatest rivalry ever. Their previous teams were much better & put up close fights and great games. This team wouldn’t beat most of our IPL teams."

Ayushmann Khurrana, who is an avid sports fan, also called the match 'one-sided' and wrote, “Aath Ek! The most anticipated match of the tournament was ironically the most one sided one. #INDvsPAK #worldcup.”
