Yesterday was sheer madness in Mumbai, the streets were filled with people and with no inch to move.

The whole of Mumbai was out on the streets! 🫡🌟

Thousands of fans waited hours and hour for team India's arrival and to get their glimpse🫡

THE VIBE WAS UNMATCHABLE. 🏆

All they wanted was to celebrate the joy of winning of T20 World Cup 2024, which was nothing less than magical ✨️

From the time Team India landed at 6am at Delhi airport, it just has been madness for for them.

The team was  greeted by a huge gathering of supporters carrying placards, to when the victory parade began in Mumbai at 7.35pm, tens of thousands that swelled into lakhs turned up to catch a glimpse of their superstars and the much-awaited silverware.

When it ended, after a nearly hour-long parade through a sea of humanity at Marine Drive on a kilometre-long stretch that culminated with a felicitation at the Wankhede Stadium, captain Rohit Sharma was overwhelmed.

The hysteria, no matter the passing rain or the seemingly endless wait, was proof.

Fans shouted, "Mumbai ka raja, Rohit Sharma!" This was, by the way, when Rohit and his men were still mid-air, halfway into their flight to Mumbai from Delhi.

When the "Mumbai ka raja" and his triumphant troops finally made their way atop an open-air bus to kick-start their victory parade -- around 2.5 hours later than the original schedule that left many standing on the streets a touch restless -- the multitude assembled by the breezy Queen's Necklace let loose.

Everyone who flocked the stretch of road in South Mumbai, coming from far and away pockets of the city, wanted a piece of the champions. From the men who'd climbed through branches of trees to those who'd checked into a posh five-star overlooking the street and were clicking pictures through their room windows. From a wheelchair-bound woman and a budding para badminton player to those free-spirited college kids who were too young to remember the rare times such scenes were witnessed in the history of Indian cricket.

A celebration the world will remember forever ✨️
