He also had a special mention to his father-in-law, along with whom he watched the match.
Tough day for England at the Wankhede but I know our team will come back stronger.
Congratulations to Team India on the win.
Despite the result, it was an honour to meet @josbuttler and @surya_14kumar before the match and a pleasure to watch the cricket with my father-in-law. pic.twitter.com/m2nzQbFujG
