Fan's Treetop View of Indian Cricket Team's Victory Parade Goes Viral
The Indian cricket team's victory parade in Mumbai was a spectacle to behold, with fans thronging the streets to catch a glimpse of their heroes. Amidst the sea of supporters, one fan's unique vantage point caught the attention of both players and spectators alike.
A video has emerged on social media showing the fan perched high atop a tree, overlooking the open-top bus carrying the victorious team. As the bus passed by, Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja couldn't help but notice the fan's daring feat. Kohli's surprised reaction was captured on camera, as he pointed out the sight to Jadeja.
The fan's determination to get as close as possible to the parade was evident, as he climbed the tree despite the potential risks. His efforts paid off, as he enjoyed a bird's-eye view of the celebration.
Similar scenes were witnessed elsewhere along the parade route, with another fan scaling a traffic signal post to get a better view. The parade took hours to cover the short distance to the Wankhede Stadium, where the team was felicitated.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) had earlier announced a generous prize money of Rs 125 crore for the players and support staff. This victory marked India's second T20 World Cup triumph, ending a 17-year wait since MS Dhoni's team lifted the trophy in 2007.
It also broke an 11-year jinx since India's last ICC trophy win at the 2013 Champions Trophy. This was India's third appearance in an ICC event final in the past year, having lost to Australia in the World Test Championship final and the ODI World Cup final in 2023.
The victory parade was a testament to the immense love and support that the Indian cricket team enjoys from its fans. The players were overwhelmed by the outpouring of affection, and the fan who climbed the tree became a symbol of the lengths to which fans will go to celebrate their heroes.
