It's a monumental win for the country, ending an 11-year drought for global trophies and igniting a wave of celebration across social media platforms.
Among the many congratulations pouring in, former captain MS Dhoni took to Instagram to express his happiness and gratitude. As a captain himself, he knows the pressure and nerve-wracking moments that come with leading a team to victory. He commended the current captain, Rohit Sharma, for his calmness and self-belief, along with the entire team for their outstanding performance. Dhoni also noted that this win was a priceless birthday gift, as he will be turning a year older on July 7.
Another legendary Indian cricketer, Sachin Tendulkar, also shared his heartfelt congratulations on Instagram. He praised the team for their determination and hard work, inspiring young cricket enthusiasts all over the nation. This win marks India's fourth star on their jersey, and Tendulkar is proud to see the team's growth from their lows in the 2007 ODI World Cup to becoming a powerhouse in the sport. He also gave a special mention to Rahul Dravid, who played a crucial role in this victory, and expressed his happiness for his dear friend.
Tendulkar also couldn't help but acknowledge the exceptional leadership of Rohit Sharma. He commended him for his superb captaincy, especially after the disappointment of the 2023 ODI World Cup, and keeping the team motivated for the T20 World Cup. He also congratulated Jasprit Bumrah for being named Player of the Tournament and Virat Kohli for his outstanding performance in the final, which earned him the Player of the Match award.
The 1996 batch of players, including Rahul Dravid, Paras Mhambrey, and Vikram Rathour, who made their international debuts together, also received praise from Tendulkar. He was thrilled to see their guidance and support lead the team to this momentous victory. He extended his congratulations to everyone involved, including the players, coaches, support staff, and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).
The excitement was not just limited to the players and the cricket fraternity. Bollywood actress and producer, Anushka Sharma, took to Instagram to share her thoughts on India's win. She expressed her joy and also gave a special shoutout to her husband, Virat Kohli, who ended his T20I career on a high note with a phenomenal performance in the final. Anushka shared that her daughter's biggest concern was whether the players had someone to hug them after seeing them cry on TV. She assured her that they were hugged by 1.5 billion people, including herself, and congratulated the team on their legendary achievement.
The team's wicketkeeper-batter, Rishabh Pant, and leg-spinner, Yuzvendra Chahal, also joined in the celebrations on Instagram, sharing a simple but powerful message - "Champions." Lastly, Anushka couldn't help but express her love for her husband and dedicated a heartfelt post to him, urging him to celebrate with a glass of sparkling water on her behalf.
Overall, it was a momentous victory for India, and the joy and jubilation shared by the players and their loved ones is a testament to their hard work and dedication.
