After the presentation ceremony, the Indian cricket team had just one question to ask - “How’s the josh?”

“High Sir!” came the roaring reply as the team celebrated their win.

The phrase from the Vicky Kaushal-starrer Bollywood movie ‘Uri: The Surgical Strike’ has found a lot of popularity after it was used by a number of politicians and Team India also celebrated the win with the now iconic movie line.

As per tradition, the trophy was lifted by the youngest member of the team - Shubman Gill - and the veteran opener Shikhar Dhawan even broke into dance as the Indian cricket team players celebrated in Wellington.

“Coming here and beating New Zealand 4-1 is a massive achievement. They play very good cricket, so it is a great take away for us. Last time we were thrashed 4-0. We didn’t have a point to prove but we just wanted to play good cricket, which we have been doing for the past 8-10 months now,” Rohit Sharma said after the match.
