Chakaravarthy's Lighthearted Take on India's Triumph

Indian spinner Varun Chakaravarthy took to social media to share a humorous moment following India's victory in the T20 World Cup 2026, held in Ahmedabad. After Team India secured a commanding win against New Zealand, scoring 255 runs for the loss of 5 wickets, Chakaravarthy posted a playful image of himself holding the trophy while sipping tea. This victory marked India's third T20 World Cup title, solidifying their status as the first team to achieve this feat.

In the final match, New Zealand struggled against India's formidable bowling lineup, getting bowled out for just 159 runs. Chakaravarthy's Instagram story quickly gained traction online, showcasing his light-hearted celebration.

This isn't the first time Chakaravarthy has used humor to celebrate. After India's win against Pakistan in the 2025 Asia Cup, he shared a similar photo, humorously substituting the trophy with a tea cup when the team returned empty-handed. He had initially planned to take a festive picture with the trophy but ended up using a coffee mug instead, stating, 'I knew we were going to win... but after the match, there was nothing next to me.'

Chakaravarthy's performance in the 2026 T20 World Cup was a mix of highs and lows, as he ended up as one of the top wicket-takers with 14 wickets, despite conceding 287 runs over 31 overs.
