Fans celebrating Ganesh Chaturthi (Source: X)
Ahead of the Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations in India, fans recreated India's T20 World Cup 2024 victory lap, which happened in Mumbai, but with a twist. This time, they made Ganpati Bappa's idol, holding the trophy along with Rohit Sharma by the idol's side. Moreover, it wasn't Rohit in real life; it was just a paper cut-out of the skipper standing next to the idol.
It was a mesmerizing moment for the people to see Bappa coming in on a bus holding the trophy, just like the Rohit Sharma-led team did two months back. This gesture by the fans showed their love for the game and what that World Cup trophy meant for the Indians. After the crushing defeat in the ODI World Cup 2023 final, the winning moment in the T20 World Cup 2024 did take away the heartbreak experienced by each Indian.
