Team India's World Cup winning party reached its climax at the Wankhede Stadium on Thursday (June 4). The atmosphere inside the jam-packed stadium was absolutely electric as thousands of fans gave the World Cup winners a grand reception at the iconic venue.

The victorious Indian team landed in the country on Thursday (July 4) morning at the IGI airport in New Delhi. They met Prime Minister Narendra Modi at his residence in the national capital before leaving for Mumbai. In Mumbai, the team celebrated the World Cup win with the fans during the victory parade that started at the Marine Drive and ended at Wankhede Stadium.

Rohit Sharma and his teammates took a victory lap at the stadium before the BCCI felicitated the players and the support staff members. Several videos of the celebration at the stadium have already gone viral on social media and now another video is doing the rounds. The recent video involves Virat Kohli and BCCI secretary Jay Shah.

The incident took place during the felicitation ceremony as the BCCI handed over the Rs 125 crore cheque to the team. All the players led by captain Rohit Sharma walked onto the stage one by one and shook hands with the BCCI officials including president Roger Binny, vice-president Rajeev Shukla, and Shah. 

And when Kohli shook hands with Shah, the BCCI official looked in awe of the batting stalwart and kept staring at him while the former India skipper walked away. He even forgot to greet India pacer Jasprit Bumrah before the latter greeted him first. Fans gave hilarious reactions to the video with one even claiming that "Jay Shah has fallen in love with Virat Kohli."

Watch the incident involving Jay Shah and Virat Kohli:

Meanwhile, both Kohli and Rohit Sharma as well as allrounder Ravindra Jadeja have announced their retirement from T20Is after the World Cup win. Rohit and Kohli announced their decision right after the win over South Africa in the final while Jadeja announced his decision on the following day.

Coming to India's campaign in the T20 World Cup, the Men in Blue clinched the trophy without losing a single game in the competition. In the final, they beat South Africa by 7 runs to become the first Asian team to win the T20 World Cup twice.
