Triumphant return: India celebrates T20 World Cup 2024 victory at the ITC Hotel
The festivities kicked off with the cutting of a specially designed cake that resembled the coveted T20 World Cup trophy. Crafted with meticulous detail, the cake featured four layers symbolising the colours of India’s T20 jersey – white, orange, and blue – accented with the emblem of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and adorned with cricketing images that captured key moments of the tournament. Atop the cake stood a miniature replica of the trophy itself, a fitting tribute to India’s hard-earned victory on the global stage.
