Indian cricket captain Rohit Sharma was seen carefully wiping the T20 World Cup trophy with a tissue in a viral video. This act was praised as a sign of respect for the trophy and the victory.
India, led by Rohit Sharma, won the T20 World Cup by defeating South Africa by seven runs in the final in Bridgetown, Barbados. Their return to India was delayed due to a hurricane in Barbados, which increased the excitement among fans.
When the team arrived in New Delhi on Thursday morning, they were welcomed by enthusiastic fans and traditional Bhangra dancers. The celebrations continued with a breakfast hosted by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
A grand victory parade was held in Mumbai, where fans filled the Wankhede Stadium to celebrate. The players, including Rohit Sharma, joined in the festivities, dancing and cutting a celebratory cake.
