Rohit's post
Rohit took to social media to share a picture of himself laying on the grass in Barbados with his eyes closed. "This picture epitomises how I'm feeling right now. So many words but can't find the right ones to express what yesterday meant to me but I will, and I will share them, but right now I'm basking in a dream come true for a billion of us," he wrote.
Virat and Anushka's post
Virat also shared a picture of Team India celebrating the massive win and wrote, "Couldn't have dreamt of a better day than this. God is great and I bow my head in gratitude. We finally did it jai hind."
In another post, Virat also thanked Anushka Sharma and added that this wouldn't have been possible without her. Kohli called the victory as much hers as his and in return, wife Anushka asked him to celebrate with a glass of sparkling water. Since then, with over 10 million likes, Virat's post has become the most liked post on Instagram beating Kiara Advani and Sidharth Malhotra's wedding post.
