It has become a custom
to sing A R Rahman’s Vande Mataram at every cricket stadium across India
when the Men in Blue are on the roll but what happened last night at the
Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai cannot be described in words. As the Indian team
drove along the Marine drive to the iconic Wankhede where India won the 2011
World Cup, fans gathered
in massive numbers
to get a glimpse of the Indian team with the T20 World Cup trophy during their
open-hooded bus parade on the way to Wankhede.
While the whole of
Mumbai rose to their feet to create an unwavering sea of blue to celebrate the
World Champions, the best moment from the celebrations came when the Indian
team took a lap of honour around the ground with Vande Mataram blaring
on the stadium speakers. While fans joined in as well, the song probably
received its best rendition last night when the Indian team sang along with
Virat Kohli leading the chorus with every Indian cricketer singing out loud
making it one of the most emotional videos to come out of the entire
celebrations. In case you haven’t seen the clip yet, head over to Instagram and
check it out because even the most straight faced individual is sure to well up
with emotions. We are watching it on a loop, are you?
