India’s premier all-rounder Hardik Pandya arrived to a wave of cheer and jubilation at the Mumbai airport after the Men in Blue lifted the T20 World Cup 2024 in Barbados on June 29.
Pandya arrived in his charismatic style wearing a sunglass and carrying the World Cup on his shoulders.
The Indian team are set to do a victory parade on an open bus along the Queen’s Necklace in Mumbai.
The dynamic right-hander got a loud cheer from fans as they chanted his name and Pandya lifted the World Cup trophy up.
Pandya was one of the key architects of India’s tremendous victory, where they remained unbeaten throughout the tournament and culminated it by winning the trophy.
Not just the airport, Pandya received loud support at the Wankhede stadium where he was booed brutally a month back during the Indian Premier League (IPL 2024).
It was definitely a moment of redemption for the all-rounder as the fans shouted his name where he was once viciously trolled after becoming the captain of the Mumbai Indians.
