India's cricket fanatics weren't the only ones celebrating the team's phenomenal victory at the ICC T20 World Cup! Bollywood celebrities also joined the jubilant chorus, expressing their elation on social media. After a nail-biting final against South Africa, Team India emerged victorious by 7 runs, bringing the coveted ICC trophy back home after a long 11 years. This historic win marks India's first World Cup title since 2011 and their second T20 World Cup victory, following their triumph under MS Dhoni in 2007.
After winning the toss and batting first, India scored 176 in their allotted 20 overs with Virat Kohli top scoring with 76. At one point during South Africa’s chase, it seemed they would easily cross the line. However, India’s bowlers had different plans and they restricted the opponents to 169.
Bollywood A-listers took to social media to express their excitement and shower praise on the team. From heartfelt messages to hilarious memes, celebrities captured the nation's celebratory mood.
