However, after the heartbreak of that final loss to Australia, Indian cricket fans thronged the Marine Drive in thousands for an era-defining picture.

Booed out of the Wankhede and basically every other stadium during the IPL for taking over Rohit Sharma's post of Mumbai Indians (MI) captain and a victim of online fanwars, Hardik Pandya had a redemption to remember. He delivered fine all-round performances during the World Cup and returned to Wankhede as a world champion, and a hero, with crowds chanting his name.

Ever since the days of Kapil Dev, the Indian fans awaited the sight of a fast bowler who would become the main character of Team India's biggest wins. In 2024, Jasprit Bumrah has become that hero. With 15 wickets and crucial spells, he played a big role in India's win and rightfully earned the Player of the Tournament award.
