World Cup Champs Take Center Stage at Glittering Ambani Sangeet

Cricket fever is at an all-time high in India as the victorious T20 World Cup team receives a hero’s welcome across the nation. The celebrations reached a glittering new level when the team’s captain, Rohit Sharma, along with star players Surya Kumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya, were guests of honor at the pre-wedding sangeet ceremony of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant (set to marry on July 12th).

The atmosphere was electric as Nita Ambani, wife of billionaire Mukesh Ambani, invited the players on stage. Amidst the global guests gathered for the sangeet, Mrs. Ambani showered praise on the trio, calling them “legendary” and highlighting how “Team India has made all of us proud in front of the whole world.“

Joining the chorus of appreciation, Mukesh Ambani himself expressed his gratitude on behalf of the entire nation. He drew a special connection between the present and the past, stating, “Mahi [Mahendra Singh Dhoni] is present here who brought the World Cup in 2011, today in 2024 you have brought it, all Indians are proud of it.” This heartfelt acknowledgment resonated with the entire room, filled with friends, family, and guests who erupted in thunderous applause for the team.

Nita Ambani’s emotions were palpable as she spoke about the win feeling like a personal victory. This connection stemmed from the fact that all three celebrated players – Rohit Sharma, Surya Kumar Yadav, and Hardik Pandya – are part of the Mumbai Indians franchise in the IPL, co-owned by the Ambani family.

This victory marks a significant milestone for Indian cricket, ending a 17-year wait for another T20 World Cup title. Team India, under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, has successfully replicated the feat achieved by Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s team in 2011, albeit reaching the final in 2014 but falling short against Sri Lanka.
