England wrote history on Sunday when they triumphed over New Zealand to conquer their first ever World Cup win. In what has been billed as the best ever Cricket World Cup final, both the teams were tied on the same score during the match and the Super Over which lead to England taking the Cup for scoring more boundaries.
In the end, England were announced as the winner as they had hit more boundaries -- 26 -- as compared to New Zealand's 17 boundaries in the match.
A lot of fans commented on Ben Stokes' tweet, here are some interesting ones:
