Star batsman Virat Kohli of India went viral once more after the team’s triumphant bus procession in Mumbai. On July 4, the Men in Blue arrived back in Delhi after their trip to Barbados. After meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Delhi, the group traveled to Mumbai to take part in the festivities.
The entire side marched from Marine Drive to Wankhede Stadium as part of a procession. Virat Kohli was seen requesting that Rajeev Shukla move aside so that he could make room for Rohit Sharma as the two raised the trophy in celebration in front of a sizable audience that had come to see the Indian team celebrate.
It is noteworthy that following India’s successful return from Barbados as the T20 World Cup winners, both Rohit and Kohli declared their retirements from Twenty20 international cricket.
