Just a couple of months ago, a saddened Rohit Sharma took the field for Mumbai Indians after being stripped of his captaincy ahead of IPL 2024. Call it a twist of fate, the franchise owner, a teary-eyed Nita Ambani introduced the same Rohit Sharma as the World Cup-winning captain during her son Anant Ambani’s wedding amidst cheers and applause.
Nita Ambani honours Rohit Sharma, Hardik Pandya
The entire Indian team has been receiving hero’s welcomes everywhere they go, and the same held true for Hardik Pandya, Suryakumar Yadav, and Rohit Sharma. They were warmly greeted with blessings from the almighty. Following that, Nita Ambani invited the trio on stage to a standing ovation from the entire auditorium. Visibly emotional, Nita Ambani shared how this victory is particularly personal for her as the three players are also part of her Mumbai Indians family.
Recalling the excitement of the T20 World Cup final and the nerve-wracking last over, she described how the nation watched with bated breath as the Indian team secured victory from an almost impossible situation. She resonated with the public’s admiration for Hardik Pandya, stating, “Tough times don’t last, but tough people do!” Mukesh Ambani echoed her sentiments, congratulating the cricketers for making India proud.
A ‘wave of honour’ for National heroes
A ‘wave of honour’ was held to celebrate the historic achievement of bringing home the T20 World Cup trophy after a 17-year wait. In a viral video, Nita and Mukesh Ambani are seen waving their arms alongside Rohit, Suryakumar, and Hardik, with the camera capturing the audience joining in this unique tribute. As ‘Lehra Do’ plays in the background, the Ambanis congratulate and embrace the players with pride.
