Shraddha Mokal, a cricket fan who was part of a gathering in Mumbai, told news agency ANI: “I have no favourites, I love each member of the team. I can’t express in words how happy I am today.”
Another fan, who identified herself by her first name, Kalpana, and was part of a gathering in Gurgaon, a suburb of Delhi, told news agency PTI: “Once again our team has proved that this is the best in the world.”
India beat England last week to qualify for the tournament final, while New Zealand beat South Africa.
So far, the Indian men’s team has won the ODI World Cup twice (1983 and 2011) and the T20 World Cup three times (2007, 2024 and 2026).
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is yet to announce when and where the victory celebrations will be held – an event in which all team members participate with the World Cup trophy in the presence of thousands of fans.
