After a decade of drought, the Indian cricket team finally lifted an ICC trophy with their victory in the T20 World Cup. The win held special meaning for the team, coming just months after losses in the WTC final and the ODI World Cup.
As Hardik Pandya bowled the final over, India’s players and support staff erupted into a frenzy of celebration. Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Pandya himself were among those who shared in the emotional scenes, with Kohli visibly moved during a video call to his family at the packed stadium in Barbados.
Social media users praised Kohli for setting a high standard for husbands and fathers as he celebrated with his wife Anushka Sharma and their children. Some even credited Akaay, Kohli’s youngest child, with bringing luck to the veteran batter. However, fans also reminded Kohli of his quest to win the trophy for RCB in the IPL.
Anushka Sharma expressed her love and gratitude for Virat Kohli on Instagram following the T20 World Cup win. She called him her home and congratulated him on his victory, urging him to celebrate with a glass of sparkling water on her behalf. Overall, the victory brought joy and celebration not just to India’s fans but to cricket lovers around the world.
