Virat Kohli is the man who lives every bit of his time on the field and takes the crowd with him, and July 4 was no different when the thousands of fans celebrated India’s ICC T20 World Cup 2024 triumph with the team at the iconic Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.

The victory parade, starting from Nariman Point and concluding at Wankhede Stadium, brought Mumbai traffic to a standstill as thousands of fans gathered along the streets to catch sight of the T20 World Cup 2024 heroes and their favorite players.

Apart from this iconic moment, thousands gathered inside Mumbai's iconic Wankhede Stadium and sang 'Vande Mataram' during the Indian cricket team's T20 World Cup 2024 victory lap.

Amid the electric atmosphere at the Wankhede Stadium, Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Hardik Pandya, and the entire Indian team joined in singing 'Vande Mataram' with the enthusiastic crowd to express their heartfelt gratitude to the crowd for their unwavering support.

For Rohit, leading his own T20 World Champion Indian cricket team on a victory lap at the Wankhede Stadium was an unforgettable and surreal experience. However, it was Kohli who led the victory lap with the 'Vande Mataram' song at the iconic Wankhede Stadium on July 4.

Actually, a video is currently doing the rounds on social media, where Kohli can be seen instructing the Indian players to join in singing 'Vande Mataram' with the crowd at the Wankhede Stadium. This led to speculation about whether it was Kohli's decision to include the 'Vande Mataram' anthem during the victory celebrations.

Meanwhile, Kohli is currently in London, spending some quality time with his wife Anushka Sharma, and two kids—Vamika and Akaay—before heading to Sri Lanka for the ODI series in August. After the T20 World Cup 2024 victory celebration, Kohli departed for London to join his family there.

Ever since Akaay was born in London, the most loved couple in the town has spent most of their time in the UK, and even there are rumors that the couple is planning to shift there permanently. However, it was all just speculation, but they wanted privacy for their kids; they could consider moving to London to live a normal life away from the spotlight.

The dashing right-hander has been named in India’s ODI squad for the three-match ODI series in Sri Lanka, and he is likely to join the national team directly in the island nation. India will also play three T20Is on their Sri Lanka tour, starting on July 28, with the first ODI scheduled for August 2. He already retired from T20I cricket after winning the T20 World Cup 2024.
