Twitter was on fire today, as it should’ve been. The Pakistan vs India final proved to a nail-biting, teeth-grinding experience for people on both sides of the border. In fact, people are still celebrating Pakistan’s glorious victory. Therefore, here is a complete round-up of everything that went down during the exhilarating Pakistan vs India final:
