The victory drew congratulatory messages from political leaders across party lines, who hailed the team's dominant performance throughout the tournament. Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) working president K. T. Rama Rao praised the team's all-round display, saying India had "out-batted, out-bowled, out-classed New Zealand" and applauding bowlers Jasprit Bumrah and Axar Patel for their contributions.
