Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath recently met with India’s wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav at his residence. This meeting followed the Indian cricket team’s triumphant victory in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024, where they clinched the title for the second time. The Men in Blue, led by Rohit Sharma, secured the prestigious trophy by defeating South Africa by seven runs in a thrilling final held in Barbados.
Chief Minister Adityanath shared a photo on social media with Kuldeep Yadav, celebrating India’s monumental win that ended a 13-year drought for an ICC World Cup trophy. The final match, which took place on June 29, saw Virat Kohli shine as the player of the match with a crucial knock of 76 runs. Jasprit Bumrah’s exceptional performance throughout the tournament, where he took 15 wickets at an impressive economy rate of 4.17, earned him the ‘Player of the Tournament’ award.
“Today, a courtesy meeting was held with Kuldeep Yadav, member of the T-20 World Cup 2024 winning Indian cricket team, at his official residence in Lucknow,” Yogi noted.
The victorious Indian team received a hero’s welcome upon their return to the national capital, Delhi. Fans eagerly awaited their arrival, celebrating their heroes and the coveted trophy. The team then met with Prime Minister Narendra Modi before embarking on an open bus victory parade in Mumbai. This parade stretched from Marine Drive to the iconic Wankhede Stadium, drawing massive crowds and widespread celebrations.
During the event at Wankhede Stadium, the players were felicitated by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) with a prize money of Rs 125 crore. The celebrations included speeches from the players, where they reflected on their win and the key performances that led to their success in the T20 World Cup. The festive atmosphere peaked with players dancing and taking a victory lap to the tune of India’s national song, ‘Vande Mataram,’ in front of an enthusiastic crowd.
