India defeated New Zealand by 35 runs in the fifth and final one day international against New Zealand to clinch the 5-ODI series 4-1 at the Westpac Stadium in Wellington on Sunday.
After the pleasantries and awards were done, the Indian cricket team had but one question to ask - "How's the josh?"
"High Sir!" came the roaring reply.
Looks like the "JOSH" in the squad is "HIGH SIR"

The above phrase comes from the recently released and highly successful Vicky Kaushal-starrer Bollywood movie 'Uri: The Surgical Strike'.
Team India too celebrated the ODI series win with the now iconic movie line. As per tradition now, the trophy was lifted by the youngest member of the Indian squad -- Shubman Gill - who played his debut series.
Shikhar Dhawan too broke into an impromptu dance celebrating India's victory by doing a few steps of bhangra.

After the win Rohit Sharma was full of praise for his team, esecially after the heavy loss in the 4th ODI inHamilton, which all seriousness was an aberration.
"Especially after the Hamilton loss, that was a big loss for us the way we lost there. At the toss I said we needed to come together as a team and we did that," Rohit said at the post match presentation.
"We showed a lot of character. With the ball as well. The wicket got flat at the end, with the dew. At one point it looked like it would be an easy chase. But lot of people put their hands up and got us through," Rohit said.
Virat Kohli too took to social media to praise the Indian team's efforts, as he also spoke highly of the "character" of the players.
From Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Minister of Defence Nirmala Sitharaman to even interim Finance Minister Piyush Goyal using the phrase, "How's the Josh?", in the recent past.
The overwhelming love for the line from his film, prompted Vicky Kaushal to take to social media to thank everyone.
"It's not just a line anymore, you all have turned it into an emotion," he wrote on Instagram.
