Wankhede Stadium Erupts In Support For Hardik Pandya During Team India's Victory Parade

Thursday evening at Wankhede Stadium was a memorable one for the Indian cricket team. Victorious players celebrated amid a sea of people in Mumbai.

After their triumphant T20 World Cup campaign, the team landed in Delhi on Thursday morning. They met with PM Narendra Modi before heading to Mumbai for the victory parade.

Following the parade, Team India was honoured at Wankhede Stadium. The BCCI invited fans, and thousands braved continuous rain to support their heroes.

As the players entered the stadium, fans cheered in unison. Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli were central to the cheers, but Hardik Pandya's name echoed among the crowd.

The chants of "Hardik, Hardik" filled the air, a stark contrast to his reception as Mumbai Indians' captain. During IPL 2024, he faced boos and criticism from fans.

2 months after he was massively booed by the fans, HARDIK HARDIK chants take over Wankhede ????????????

This homecoming was a fantastic redemption for Hardik Pandya. Fans cheered loudly as he returned to Wankhede Stadium. Rohit Sharma praised Hardik for bowling the crucial last over in the final. The entire stadium erupted in cheers for him as Rohit spoke.

Support from Fans

The whole ground supported India's stars who conquered the world after a 13-year gap. Hardik acknowledged this support by standing up and thanking all fans present.

Hardik Pandya is expected to be a contender for India's next captaincy. This follows Rohit Sharma's retirement from T20 format after winning the World Cup.
