Many social media users flooded X with comments and congratulatory messages.

One user wrote, “The greatest redemption ever.” Another user replied, “Thank you for everything Hardik bro.” A third user commented, “From booes to cheers Hardik comes a long way.”

An X user said, “’m so happy for you, Hardik. Have always believed in your potential and said it the moment you will have a great tournament, India will win that trophy, and it exactly happened in 2024 T20WC..”

Another user wrote, “Hardik, you missed one thing—you should have asked on the mic about the whereabouts of the booing people and your haters; they must be lurking somewhere nearby,” recalling the moment at Wankhede, where fans booed Pandya when he took over from Rohit Sharma as the captain of the Indian Premier League franchise Mumbai Indians.

During the victory parade on Thursday, fans cheered loudly for him, and his name resonated throughout the stadium during the felicitation ceremony.

Rohit Sharma and the Indian team kicked off their victory lap from Marine Drive atop an open bus. Enthusiastic fans thronged the streets, dancing to the rhythm of India’s triumph, and joyously heralded the arrival of the T20 World Cup champions.

During the parade, players proudly raised the coveted trophy high, acknowledging the unwavering support of fans throughout the tournament. The outpouring of fan love was evident as some climbed trees, cheering passionately as the bus passed by.
