On Sunday night, The ICC World Cup 2019, as well as the Men's Wimbledon Singles 2019, two of the world's biggest sports tournaments, came to an end. But, not an ordinary end. We were kept on the edge of our seats in both finals. While the England vs New Zealand cricket World Cup final was a last-ball finish with the Kiwis playing their best game yet losing to the English thanks to a nonsensical 'super over', Novak Djokovic beat Roger Federer 7-6 (7-5), 1-6, 7-6 (7-4), 4-6, 13-12 (7-3) to win his fifth Wimbledon title.
It wasn't just you and me who remained glued to our respective TV sets on Sunday night, celebrities took to social media to cheer and share the thrill too. Varun Dhawan, for example, said his entire family was awake, thanks to the match!
What a #WorldCupfinal. Unbelievable my entire family is awake. Who u got— Varun Dhawan (@Varun_dvn) July 14, 2019
Karan Johar went 'out of character' and was accompanied by mom Hiroo Johar. He was rooting for NZ, but his prayers were sadly not heard. Never mind, what a match!
For someone who was never a sports person! I have behaved out of character and screamed insanely with my Mother watching tennis and cricket!!! Tennis broke my heart but I am still hoping for NZ!!!! This match is insane!!!!!!!— Karan Johar (@karanjohar) July 14, 2019
As England secured their first ever World Cup win, Vivek Oberoi, on Twitter, congratulated them.

The Wimbledon finals had its own madness. As per a report on BBC, this was the longest singles finals ever! Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis divided his attention between the WC final and the Wimbledon final.

Real Madrid's Toni Kroos is probably an ardent Federer fan because he rooted for a 'second trophy'...!
Could we have a second trophy? #Wimbledon2019 #FedererDjokovic— Toni Kroos (@ToniKroos) July 14, 2019
And can we please end this with the EPIC conversation that took place between Wimbledon and ICC?
