The Ambani family felicitated India captain Rohit Sharma, vice-captain Hardik Pandya, and Suryakumar Yadav during the wedding ceremony of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant at the Jio World Convention Centre in Bandra-Kurla Complex, Mumbai, on Saturday, July 6. This celebration came after Rohit Sharma and his team ended India’s 11-year-long ICC trophy drought.
This triumph marked the sixth ICC trophy for the Men in Blue, adding to their illustrious record with two T20 World Cups (2007 & 2024), two ODI World Cups (1983 & 2011), and two Champions Trophies (2002 & 2013). In a video shared by Mumbai Indians (MI) on X, franchise owner Nita Ambani individually called the players to the stage, where they received a rousing reception from the audience. MI captioned the post: “Mrs. Nita Ambani praised Team India’s incredible journey in the #T20WorldCup, where they overcame challenges and became the undisputed champions.”
Rohit Sharma led from the front, emerging as the leading run-getter for India at the 2024 T20 World Cup. The right-hander scored 257 runs in eight innings at a strike rate of 156.70, including three half-centuries. His leadership and batting prowess were pivotal in India’s successful campaign.
Suryakumar Yadav also played a crucial role, amassing 199 runs in eight matches at a strike rate of 135.37, with two half-centuries. His remarkable catch to dismiss David Miller in the final was a highlight of the tournament and showcased his exceptional fielding skills.
Meanwhile, Hardik Pandya contributed significantly with both bat and ball, scoring 144 runs and taking 11 wickets in the tournament. The all-rounder’s performance in the final was particularly noteworthy as he defended 16 runs in the final over against South Africa, sealing India’s victory in a thrilling contest.
The felicitation ceremony was a glittering event, attended by numerous celebrities and cricket fans. The Ambani family’s recognition of the players’ achievements added to the celebratory atmosphere, honoring their dedication and excellence on the international stage.
