Ayushmann took to Instagram and posted a video talking about how he can’t get over India’s win in the finals while reciting a poem he penned down for Team India’s win, signature Ayushmann style. The poem is as below –

_Koi hara na paaya humein — upar wala hamara saarathi hai._
_Par sach kahoon, hamari team selfless hai… niswarthi hai._
_It’s actually a rare sight to see somebody else sad for somebody else’s dismissal._
_Shubman out hota tha, nirash Rohit hota tha._
_Shreyas kuch galat kar deta, Kohli ka chehra utar jaata._
_Kohli ke out hone par toh KL ne keh bhi diya frustrate hokar —_
_‘Kya kar rahe ho yaar? Main le raha tha na risk!’_
_Pakistan ke against, Rohit haath utha utha kar khush ho raha tha,_
_Aur Virat ko keh raha tha — ‘End mein laga de, laga de six!’_
_Before the last England series ke pehle tak we were never sure about Rohit and his team._
_Rohit ka balla nahi chal raha tha and we were also missing Bumrah ki seam._
_Rohit ka hua comeback — backed by his nation._
_Sach bataoon, maine toh kabhi nahi dekha usse better hand-eye coordination._

_Tum bhi kehte honge ki jab bhi kuch bhi hota hai,_
_Main bolne lagta hoon… dimaag na jaane kis setting mein hai._
_Mera bolna wagera kuch deep nahi hai… asli depth toh India ki batting mein hai._
_Hum bahut fortunate hain ki hum Bharatiya vishv ke kone kone mein hain._
_Hamari team ko supporters mil jaate hain —_
_Koi bhi team agar apne desh se door bada tournament jeete,_
_Toh unki hausla afzai karne mein hum thoda katarate hain._
_Badla toh le liya humne Australia se,_
_Par jab World Cup jeete the toh stadium mein unke liye kisi ne taali nahi bajayi._
_Toh aap hi batao — Indian team ne kya baat sikhayi?_
_Wo selfless hain, niswarthi hain. But for now, we are the World Champions —_
_Kyuki uparwala hamara saarathi hai._
