The Indian players, including senior team members like Virat Kohli, Mohammed Siraj, and Hardik Pandya, were visibly moved, and were captured on camera with tears streaming down their faces.”It’s been difficult to hold things back, and I think it’s going to sink in later. It’s an amazing day, and I am thankful,” Kohli shared with reporters post-match.
However, it wasn’t just the fans and players who were deeply moved by the emotional scenes. Kohli’s daughter, Vamika, had a particularly adorable reaction to seeing her father and his teammates in tears. Anushka Sharma, revealed the little one’s concern in a heartfelt social media post.
Anushka proudly shared photos of her hubby celebrating with his team and recounted Vamika’s worry, saying, “Our daughter’s biggest concern was if all the players had someone to hug them after she saw them cry on TV…” Anushka assured her by saying, “Yes, My darling, they were hugged by 1.5 billion people.”
The actress concluded her post with a message of congratulations, “What a phenomenal victory and what a legendary achievement!! CHAMPIONS – CONGRATULATIONS!!”
This victory marked a historic moment for Indian cricket, with the team joining West Indies and England as the only nations to have won the Men’s T20 World Cup twice. It also marked India’s fourth World Cup title overall, adding to the legacy of Kapil Dev‘s 1983 team, Dhoni’s 2007 T20 and 2011 ODI champions, and now Rohit Sharma‘s victorious squad.
