Dhoni Joins Rohit Sharma for Trophy Display, Fans Cheer Loudly
The celebration was euphoric as former cricketers shared their joy on Twitter, congratulating India on its win. Former Indian captain MS Dhoni was present at the Ahmedabad stadium, where he brought the trophy for display alongside T20 World Cup brand ambassador Rohit Sharma.. Dhoni's presence energized the crowd, who erupted with excitement every time he appeared on the big screen.
Dhoni’s Message for Gambhir and Bumrah
As the celebrations continued, cricketers such as Virat Kohli, Shikhar Dhawan, and Irfan Pathan expressed their happiness on social media. In true Dhoni fashion, he arrived late with an appreciation post on Instagram, a platform where he is rarely active. It seemed he took his time remembering his password, but ultimately congratulated the team on their significant triumph.
Notably, he left a special message for Gautam Gambhir in his post, along with a mention of Jasprit Bumrah’s outstanding performance throughout the tournament. His caption read:
"History is created in Ahmedabad. Big congratulations to the team and support staff, as well as to all the fans of the Indian Cricket Team worldwide. It’s such a pleasure to see all of you play. Coach, your smile looks great on you; intensity paired with a smile is a killer combo. Very well done! Enjoy, guys (It’s better if I don’t say anything about BUMRAH. CHAMPION BOWLER).”
MS Dhoni’s heartfelt note to his former teammate, referring to Gambhir's smile, was a highlight, showcasing his ultimate respect and celebrating a special moment for the team.
