The commonly stated advice to “enjoy responsibly” should unquestionably be sincerely understood and scrupulously followed. Moments after India triumphantly ended their 11-year ICC title drought in Barbados, defeating South Africa by a tight seven runs, this idea was starkly reminded. That being said, the incident happened in Queensbury, USA, about 6500 km away, nowhere close to Barbados.
An Indian flag was being attempted to be attached to a pole at the Queensbury Underground Station entrance by a man. Unsettling video, courtesy of The Sun, seems to show that someone else was assisting him prior to his abrupt fall. Ten or so people on the ring below ran to the edge when they saw the man lose his balance and fall into a crowd of cricket supporters below.

About the game, India beat South Africa in a match where it seemed the Proteas would win. However, in the closing moments, Jasprit Bumrah and company turned the tide decisively, with Suryakumar Yadav making a spectacular catch at the long-off boundary to dismiss David Miller, the Proteas’ last hope.
