The World Cup win was celebrated all over India. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) organised a victory parade to celebrate the achievements of the Indian players. Thousands of cricket fans across India gathered to show their gratitude to their favourite Indian players.

Arshdeep Singh was also the silent hero of the Indian side in the concluded T20 World Cup 2024. The pacer claimed wickets at crucial times in almost all the "Men in Blue" matches.
Also, the catch of Suryakumar Yadav on the boundary line will always be etched in the hearts of Indian fans whenever they recollect the T20 World Cup 2024 memories. It was also the last assignment of Rahul Dravid as Team India's head coach.
