In a stunning turn of events, Team India clinched their long-awaited second T20 World Cup trophy with a thrilling 7-run win over South Africa. This victory marked the end of a 13-year wait, as India’s last ICC triumph was in 2011. The Men in Blue’s exceptional performance in the tournament was celebrated by fans worldwide, with jubilant scenes on the streets and even in the skies.
On an Air India A350 flight, passengers learned of India’s victory through a flight attendant’s announcement, which led to applause and the cabin lights transforming into the colors of the Tricolour, India’s national flag. The video, shared on Instagram, has garnered over 14 million views and numerous comments praising the unique celebration.
Following the victory, Captain Rohit Sharma announced his retirement from T20 Internationals, joining his opening partner Virat Kohli in stepping away from the format. Kohli, who scored a match-winning 76 in his final T20I, played a key role in India’s triumph in a closely fought final. The team’s success was lauded by fans and players alike, with pride and excitement evident in the reactions to the historic win.
