Kohli’s 76-ball 76 was an emotional farewell for an amazing batsman whose magic with the bat had faded last year, yet saved India against South Africa in this high-octane thriller. Not only did it end a 12-year wait for an ICC World Cup championship but he also brought joy and tears of happiness from millions of Indians worldwide. Kohli remains one of the game’s premier batsmen today.
After a delayed open-top bus victory parade from Mumbai airport, Kohli and his team arrived at Wankhede Stadium late Thursday evening to a fantastic welcome party. Over three lakh fans turned out on Marine Drive to give Virat Kohli and team an unforgettable welcome home experience, singing “Virat Kohli, You are the King of Mumbai!” and dancing Chak de India along the way.
Kohli could be seen hugging coach Rahul Dravid before taking in the moment by taking a selfie with wife Anushka Sharma and children. He was visibly moved as he lifted the trophy at Bridgetown before celebrating in Delhi and Mumbai; truly inspiring cricket lovers everywhere to witness such passion for his beloved sport.

As his Range Rover weaved through Mumbai traffic, Kohli observed people walking by with briefcases and backpacks, trying to make ends meet. They huddled under umbrellas as they raced toward train and bus stations or fought their way through crowds for daily doses of chai or bagel – similar to how millions lined up to celebrate Kohli and his incredible run scoring ability – currently on his 49th ODI hundred since Tendulkar first rose to greatness! The whole world witnessed his skill and exuberant spirit!
Kohli has made his mark in India where fame is an unavoidable reality. Fame can either be used as an anchor or leverage point; Yuvraj Singh found it too much to bear and suffered because of it; others such as Kohli and Rohit Sharma took advantage of it by building careers around it while using its many aspects to motivate themselves to perform at higher levels.
Both Rohit and Kohli have endured their share of ups and downs; they represent two faces of India at this momentous juncture in its development. While their voices often coincide in dejection and triumph, ultimately each has created his or her own niche; Rohit may be quieter than Kohli but his unwavering pursuit of excellence remains his trademark trait.

Team India was met by cheering fans when it returned home after winning the 2024 World Cup, as they met Prime Minister Narendra Modi at his residence in Delhi and were also received warmly by Prime Minister Modi in New Delhi. Indian captain Virat Kohli used social media to thank fans for their love and support, thanking all his fans via a post shared via his personal account on Twitter.
He began the post by thanking those around him, adding a heart emoji at the end of his message that was then shared many times on Twitter. Additionally, the RCB captain thanked his teammates for all of their hard work and dedication throughout this season and then wished them good luck in future victories and success.
Even after losing two early wickets, Kohli kept India in contention with a brilliant innings, scoring an outstanding 76 off 59 balls and shifting his game from aggression to accumulation; thus enabling Axar Patel and Shivam Dube to play out their natural games and reach 176/7 within 20 overs.
Jasprit Bumrah then delivered an exceptional 18th over, conceding only four runs and striking out Heinrich Klaasen to give his side an opportunity at pulling off an incredible comeback in the last ball of the match – something they accomplished as David Miller stepped out with the score tied and one run needed for victory on an unlikely victory!

After an exciting day in New Delhi, India’s players boarded a charter flight for Mumbai where they participated in an open-bus victory parade at Marine Drive and Wankhede Stadium. When getting off their bus at Marine Drive Stadium, fans were left speechless by Kohli and Rohit’s heartwarming moment shared between them; leaving fans speechless once more.

Kohli spoke at an event to commemorate India’s win and thanked Jasprit Bumrah, its pace spearhead, for his extraordinary contribution in helping India recover after falling behind at one point – including needing 26 runs off four overs to win it all against South Africa!
Wankhede Stadium’s crowd erupted into a thunderous cheer as Kohli, Rohit, Jasprit and Hardik Pandya took a lap around the ground. An incredible photo showing their team bus surrounded by cheering fans has since gone viral, symbolizing India’s incredible resilience and spirit.
