Dinesh Karthik (29 runs off eight balls) hit a last ball six to give India a thrilling four-wicket win over Bangladesh in the final the Nidahas Trophy at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Sunday. However what caught everybody’s attention more than the victory was Sri Lankan fans mocking Bangladesh’s ‘nagin’ dance celebration after India’s win.

Not just Sri Lankan fans, but even Twitterati mocked Bangladesh’s celebrations.

“Sri Lankan Fans Celebrating The Victory Of Team India Against Arrogant Nagin Bangladesh Just Won Our Heart. Thanks To All Sri Lankan Fans Who Came And Cheered For Team India. Lots Of Love From India. 💕💪🙏🇮🇳 #DineshKarthik #INDvBAN #INDvsBAN #BANvsIND #NidahasTrophy,” wrote a Twitter user.

“Copyright of nagin dance is with Bharat, not Bangladesh. Congratulations!

“#DineshKarthik wow wt a kncok by DK … One of the best in his career.. 😍😍 and let’s time for Nagin dance🐍🐍,” wrote another cricket fan.

Meanwhile, coming in the second last over when the scoreboard read 133/5, Karthik started with two sixes and a four in first three balls, which narrowed the gap between the remaining balls and the required runs.

The drama unfolded in the last over when India needed five runs in the last ball. Karthik slammed a flat six over extra cover to clinch the match.

Chasing 167, skipper Rohit Sharma (56) once again led from the front with his classy knock but failed to finish off the proceedings. Middle-order batsman Manish Pandey (28) played sensible innings but was dismissed when India needed him the most. Thereafter, Karthik took India to victory.

Earlier, India started off on a steady note as openers Rohit and Shikhar Dhawan (10) scored 32 runs in three overs but then Dhawan was dismissed by Shakib Al Hasan.

Suresh Raina (0), who also played a crucial role along with Rohit in the last match, could not disturb his score this time as the Uttar Pradesh batsman was dismissed in the very next over by Rubel Hossain.

But incoming batsman Lokesh Rahul (24) and Rohit forged a crucial 51-run partnership before Rahul was sent packing by Hossain in the 10th over.

Just when things seemed good in the middle, Rohit departed with Nazmul Islam picking up the crucial wicket in the 14th over. His 42-balls innings was laced with four boundaries and three sixes.

Needing 69 runs in 40 balls, it was all on two new batsmen Pandey and Vijay Shankar (17). Pandey displayed some superb shots while Shankar also supported handsomely at the other end.

But with 37 needed in last three overs, Shankar played four dot balls which mounted the pressure and as a result, Pandey, while trying for a big one, was caught by Sabbir Rahman off Mustafizur Rahman. Pandey played 27 balls and slammed three boundaries.

Experienced batsman Karthik then joined Shankar and guided India to victory.
