India T20 World Cup 2026 Winning Celebration Live Updates: Gautam Gambhir reveals how long the after-party lasted

Speaking on Star Sports after India's T20 World Cup 2026 triumph, head coach Gautam Gambhir was asked about the team's celebrations following the historic win.

Gambhir initially joked that he stayed at the after-party longer than he did after India's 2011 ODI World Cup victory. However, he quickly burst into laughter and revealed the reality, admitting he was only at the celebration for around 10 minutes before leaving.

Where will the 2026 victory parade take place?

As of now, the host city for the 2026 T20 World Cup victory parade has not been officially confirmed.
The Indian team remained in Ahmedabad following the final, and details of their travel schedule are still awaited.
If the celebrations follow a similar format to 2024, the team may first arrive in New Delhi for a meeting with the Prime Minister before travelling to another city - most likely Mumbai - for a public trophy parade with fans.

Previous victory parades for Team India

Victory parades have become a cherished tradition after major cricketing triumphs.
Following India's maiden T20 World Cup win in 2007 under MS Dhoni, the team was welcomed with a massive bus parade in Mumbai after returning from South Africa. Thousands of fans gathered to celebrate the historic victory against Pakistan in the final.
A similar celebration took place after India's 2024 T20 World Cup triumph. The team paraded through the streets of Mumbai in an open bus before arriving at a packed Wankhede Stadium, where fans celebrated alongside players including Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, who later announced their retirement from the format.
