WATCH: Kashmiris celebrate India's Cricket World Cup exit in Srinagar

Twitterati also mercilessly troll Men in Blue over defeat at the hands of New Zealand

Soon after India's Cricket World Cup dream was shattered by New Zealand in the tournament's semi-final round, residents of Srinagar in Indian Occupied Kashmir (IoK) could not hide their joy and took to streets to celebrate the defeat Wednesday night.

The Indian team who were widely seen as one of the favourites to lift the trophy were bundled out for 221 at Old Trafford with Matt Henry's bowling spell wreaking havoc on their batting top order.

While others poked fun at the team's wicket keeper Mahendra Singh Dhoni who was run out in the match in the semi-final drawing comparisons to Indian fighter jets shot down by the Pakistan Air Force in the Pakistani territory in February by saying, "Two lines India crossed that they will never forget."
