    Victory Parade After 2007 T20 WC Beyond Anything I Had Imagined: RP Singh

    T20 World Cup: Former India left-arm fast bowler RP Singh shared vivid memories of being in the celebrations following the 2007 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup triumph, saying that the parade which the team undertook after landing in Mumbai was beyond anything he ever imagined.

    Singh took 12 wickets in seven games, as MS Dhoni-led India won the first-ever T20 World Cup in South Africa in September 2007. “We won the T20 World Cup in South Africa, celebrated there, and then landed in Dubai, where a few people congratulated us for lifting the trophy. When we finally landed in Mumbai, we thought we had achieved something special, but the celebration parade was beyond anything I had imagined.”

    "The roads were closed, and people were throwing things, chocolates, and even a small cake that someone tossed towards me saying, ‘Please hold it and cut it.’ I told them, ‘Don’t do this, it might fall.’ It was raining, yet the crowds’ energy was electric, with people celebrating wildly alongside us," said Singh in an episode of ‘Cheeky Singles’ on JioHotstar.
