While a number of fans were quick to congratulate the Kiwis, others waited no time in lashing out at Team India captain Virat Kohli, coach Ravi Shastri and went to the extent of calling team India Chokers.
Here are some reactions:

#captaincy isn't just aggression and profanity, #MSDhoni rarely displayed anger and emotions on field, one of his success mantra.

Even Williamson is a saint on field.
I think Kohli is a gem but as a batsman, so was Sachin Tendulkar.
Congratulations NZ #BCCI

Congratulations NZ @BLACKCAPS for winning your first ever ICC Trophy…#BCCI must remove this Choker if they really wants to win any ICC Trophy after what #MSDhoni did over the past decades…#INDvNZ #BCCI#KaneWilliamson #WTC2021Final pic.twitter.com/ynnj3xc44J

India reached some 14 ICC tournaments/multinational finals in last 10/15 years but just won a few under MSD !
If we count women's n go back to Ganguly era then India have won just 4/5 out of some 25 finals
so sad????♂️

India has lost another ICC tournament under choker Kohli's captaincy and this statement remains true.

Indian cricket fans will have to suffer more as Egoistic Kohli will never step down as captain, and continue until he is thrown out.#WTCFinal2021 #WTCFinal21
