Today marks a week since Team India ended the ICC Trophy drought by winning the T20 World Cup. Men in Blue lifted the ICC trophy with a spectacular team performance. From batters to bowlers to fielders, our boys contributed immensely to emerge victorious and bring a World Cup trophy home after 13 years. From Virat Kohli to Jasprit Bumrah to Arshddep Singh to Axar Patel, our words will fall short of lauding the team’s performance in the final match against South Africa. We can never forget Hardik Pandya’s role in the tournament, especially the last over.

Lakhs of fanatics joined the T20 World Cup-winning cricketers to celebrate the win most grandly. The open-bus victory parade will forever be a special memory for cricket lovers. A sea of fans flocked to the venue and joined the Men in Blue to dance, sing, shout, cheer, and cry in joy. They carried banners, cutouts, special messages, placards, and more to welcome and greet the champions.
Content Creator Aryan Kataria also joined the crowd at Marine Drive’s victory parade and brought a special banner for none other than Hardik Pandya. He made a banner with “Hardik Bhai sabke taraf se sorry” written on it. Many fans tagged along with him and clicked pictures and videos with the message. They showered love for the cricketer and apologised for all trolling in the past.
IPL 2024 and the past few months have been a rollercoaster ride for this Indian cricketer. From Netizens trolling and booing him for Mumbai Indians’ captaincy to people judging him for his personal life, a major section of the online community made this period a difficult phase for him.
But success is always the sweetest revenge and Hardik replied to all his haters with his impeccable performance in the T20 World Cup. Be it scoring crucial runs for his team or taking important wickets, he did it all.
The Victory Parade Will Always Be A Glorious Memory

Not just from Mumbai but enthusiasts also visited Marine Drive and Wankhede Stadium from nearby places just to get a glimpse of the world champions and be a small part of the magnificent celebrations. The cricket fraternity loved the fans’ support and reacted to it gleefully.
We are extremely proud of Team India for presenting us with the best gift of 2024!
