As the Indian men’s cricket team celebrated their triumphant victory in the T20 World Cup 2024, the entire nation joined in the jubilation. Among the numerous Bollywood celebrities expressing their pride and admiration was actor Ayushmann Khurrana, who has been an ardent supporter of Team India throughout the tournament.
The Dream Girl 2 star took to social media a day after the historic win to share a heartfelt shayari he penned in honor of the team. In a video, Ayushmann is seen delivering his poetic tribute, applauding the efforts of key players like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Suryakumar Yadav. He emphasized the importance of supporting the team through their highs and lows and condemned the trolling of players during their tough times.
A snippet from his shayari reads, “Semi-finals me Kohli ke muh se nikla tha Ben-Strokes, tab toh alochakon ne laga diye they saare chokes. Aur ye final me dikha diya legend ne apna Virat roop, samjho pyaare yehi hai Jeevan chaaon aur dhoop. Pandhya ko bhi pichle do mahine se bahut kuch kaha sunaya, aakhiri over me fir usi ne toh jalwa dikhaya. Aur moochein ho toh Hardik jaisi ho varna na ho aur bowling figures ho toh Bumrah jaisi ho warna na ho.”
Sharing the video on his social media, Ayushmann captioned it, “Still can’t get over it! #t20worldcup worldchampions.”
Following the match, Ayushmann also shared another video expressing his overwhelming joy and congratulating the team. In the caption, he described his emotions and pride in witnessing India's cricketing prowess.
“Tears of joy! This a 140 crore giant big group hug! Whatta match! Whatta bunch! This Indian team has given joy to billions of Indians. We are the world champions! The superpower of cricket! Our generation is the luckiest to see India emerge as the World Cup winners thrice since 2007. Two in T20 and one ODI. Learning and taking cues from the last ODI World Cup final, here we are as bonafide winners! Jai Hind!” he wrote.
Ayushmann’s tribute to the Indian cricket team has resonated with fans, showcasing his heartfelt connection to the sport and the national pride shared by millions.
