Team India: India is buzzing with joy after Team India clinched the T20 World Cup title for the second time. In a nail-biting final, India emerged victorious, and celebrations have erupted nationwide. A grand victory parade is scheduled in Mumbai, with an event at Wankhede Stadium to honor the champions.
Early this morning, the team returned from Barbados and received a grand welcome at the airport. At 11 IST, the players met with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and photos of this meeting have quickly gone viral on social media. One image, in particular, has captured everyone’s attention: PM Modi holding the hands of Captain Rohit Sharma and coach Rahul Dravid, rather than the trophy.
Viral Photos Spark Comparisons
People started posting pictures of their previous World Cup wins on internet as soon as this picture went viral. In one picture, the players are positioned behind Prime Minister Indira Gandhi as she joyfully holds the trophy in 1983. In the same way, the then-prime minister Manmohan Singh is shown seated with important players in 2007 following India’s ICC T20 World Cup victory, without trophy, with the younger players standing behind him.
A Journey Through India’s World Cup Victories
India’s cricket journey has seen several glorious moments. The first major victory came in 1983 under Kapil Dev’s leadership, when India defeated the West Indies to win the ODI World Cup. Fast forward to 2007, and under the dynamic captaincy of Mahendra Singh Dhoni, India secured their first T20 World Cup by defeating Pakistan. In 2011 under the leadership of MS Dhoni, India again clinched the ODI World Cup title beating Sri Lanka by 6 wickets.
Rohit Sharma’s Triumph in 2024
The most recent chapter in this remarkable history is the victory in the 2024 T20 World Cup, led by Rohit Sharma. India triumphed once more in an exciting match in Barbados against South Africa. The celebratory pictures featuring PM Modi have gone viral, particularly because of his gesture of holding Rohit Sharma and Rahul Dravid’s hands. Netizens have commended this deed extensively, seeing it as a symbol of encouragement and support for future accomplishments.
