India is a cricket World Champion once again. After a wait of 17 long years, the Men in Blue lifted the coveted T20 World Cup 2024 trophy, defeating South Africa in a thrilling final. And who better to celebrate this historic victory than Ranveer Singh, the man who brought the magic of Kapil Dev’s 1983 World Cup win to life on the silver screen in Kabir Khan’s blockbuster film 83?
Ranveer Singh celebrates India’s T20 World Cup win; calls Rohit Sharma “nation’s pride’, Virat Kohli “an icon of the world of sports”
Singh took to Instagram to express his elation, sharing a series of photos that perfectly captured the emotions of the day. From an overwhelmed Rohit Sharma, the victorious captain, to the ever-smiling head coach Rahul Dravid, and a jubilant Virat Kohli holding aloft the trophy, the pictures showcased the team’s journey and the culmination of their hard work. Ranveer started his long post by saying, “WHAT ELSE WE HERE FOR? How fortunate we are to have witnessed this glorious moment in our nation’s history! The boys have done it! World champions!!! We fought like warriors and took what was rightly ours.”
In a heartfelt caption, Singh poured out his emotions, acknowledging the significance of the moment. He addressed Rohit Sharma, calling him “Mumbai’s own, Nation’s pride,” and hailed his captaincy as the crowning glory of his illustrious career. He didn’t forget the pillar of the team, Rahul Dravid, “The Wall”, who finally added a World Cup title to his already legendary cricketing legacy. Special mentions went out to Virat Kohli, the former captain, and the entire team for their dedication and resilience.
He wrote, “Rahul ‘The Wall’ Dravid! One of the greats of Indian Cricket goes out with a World Cup to his name! Rohit Sharma’s legacy gets its crowning glory! The ultimate achievement – he’s a World Cup winning captain, ladies and gentlemen! The paragon of aggressive batting in the short format. One of the greatest batsmen of all time. Mumbai’s own, nation’s pride. Thank you. Virat Kohli. Nothing can be said about this giant that hasn’t been said already. I guess he said it best, this is what dreams are made of. We too bow our heads in gratitude… for the glory you’ve brought us throughout your playing career. King Kohli – an icon of the world of sports. Thank you. Jaddu. The best all-rounder of his generation. The most lethal weapon in all of cricket. The skill and dynamism he’s displayed on the field has been extraordinary. He’s made the impossible possible, time and time again. A superstar. A winner. A champion. Thank you.”
Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Ravindra Jadega – all three cricketers announced their retirement from T20 international cricket after winning the cup. It was also the last tournament of former cricketer and Indian head coach Rahul Dravid.
Ranveer Singh further wrote, “To every member of Team India – thank you! Surya’s catch will go down as one of the greatest plays in the history of team sports. Hardik’s tears said it all. They said everything that he didn’t say when everyone had so much to say about him. My boy. What a redemption. Absolute cinema. And the man of the moment, who we will all remember forever as India’s trump card, India’s ace, India’s game-changer – the one and only Jasprit Bumrah. The most feared and fabled pacer in history of Indian cricket. Greatest of all time. It’s a historic end to an era. An era of the highest achievement in sports, the ultimate glory and overwhelming pride. Jai Hind!”
On the work front, Ranveer Singh will next star in Rohit Shetty’s Singham Again and Farhan Akhtar’s Don 3.
