Team India stars Virat Kohli and Arshdeep Singh grooved to the famous Daler Mehndi song 'Tunak Tunak' as part of their victory celebrations after the Men in Blue won the 2024 T20 World Cup trophy. The duo was joined by a few other members of the Indian contingent like Axar Patel and Mohammed Siraj, but Kohli and Arshdeep remained the central attractions.

India beat South Africa by seven runs in a pulsating 2024 T20 World Cup final at the Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados on Saturday, June 29. Batting first after winning the toss, the Men in Blue put up 176-7 on the board in the 20 overs. In the chase, the Proteas came close but were held to 169-8.

Most members of the Indian team got emotional and were seen in tears or with moist eyes immediately after the last ball of the final was bowled. Later, though, the players decided to enjoy the big occasion. Kohli and Arshdeep led the way when it came to the dancing part; Axar, Siraj, and even Rinku Singh joined in.

Both Arshdeep and Kohli were at complete ease while dancing to the peppy 'Tunak Tunak' number. Some of the other team members were not as good with their footwork, but it didn't matter. The ICC shared a clip of the victory celebrations with the caption:

"When you win, dance like everyone’s watching."

Team India's triumph in the 2024 T20 World Cup was their first win in an ICC event since lifting the Champions Trophy in 2013. Their previous World Cup win came in India when they were crowned ODI world champions in 2011.


Virat Kohli and Arshdeep Singh played key roles in India's 2024 T20 World Cup triumph

Before exhibiting their impressive dancing skills, Kohli and Arshdeep played crucial roles in Team India's victory in the 2024 T20 World Cup final. The former, who had struggled with the willow heading into the summit clash, top-scored for the Men in Blue with 76 off 59 balls. The right-handed batter struck six fours and two sixes in his impressive knock.

With the ball, left-arm pacer Arshdeep registered impressive figures of 2-20. The Indian fast bowler got the big wicket of South African captain Aiden Markram for 4 and also dismissed the well-set Quinton de Kock for 39. Axar Patel (47 off 31), Jasprit Bumrah (2-18) and Hardik Pandya (3-20) were the other key performers for India in the memorable triumph.
