Suryakumar Yadav recreated the viral Ric Flair walk trend as he went towards the podium. While the team did not receive the trophy after winning the tournament, they posed for the cameras and celebrated without the same.

The Indian captain mock-lifted the trophy along with his teammates as they erupted in joy. Notably, former T20I captain Rohit Sharma had also celebrated in a similar manner (Ric Flair walk) after he led India to glory at the 2024 T20 World Cup.

India were in a tricky position in the chase, reduced to 20/3 at one stage. However, Tilak Varma, Sanju Samson (24) and Shivam Dube (33) played key knocks. Tilak anchored the chase and remained unbeaten on 69 off 33 balls as they got over the line with two balls to spare.
