During the 2007 T20 World Cup victory celebration, RP Singh recounted an unexpected incident where someone threw a little cake in his direction.
India's victory in the T20 World Cup has been a cause for nationwide celebration. After clinching the title in a thrilling final against Pakistan, the team was greeted with an open bus victory parade in Mumbai. The roads were closed, and people threw chocolates and a small cake at the players during the festive occasion [1].
Amidst the jubilations, a less-heard anecdote from the 2007 T20 World Cup victory parade has resurfaced. Former speedster Rudra Pratap Singh shared a memorable moment where a fan unexpectedly tossed a small cake towards him and asked him to cut it, creating a unique and unforgettable moment amid the celebrations [2][3].
Rudra Pratap Singh, who concluded the T20 World Cup tournament as the second-highest wicket-taker with 12 scalps, played a pivotal role in steering India to the T20 World Cup title. His retirement in 2018 marked the end of an illustrious career during which he made 82 appearances for India across all formats and scythed 124 wickets [4].
The victory parade in Mumbai was beyond anything Rudra Pratap Singh had imagined in terms of grandeur and public enthusiasm after India’s first-ever T20 World Cup triumph under MS Dhoni’s captaincy in 2007 [1][2][3]. This anecdote stands out as a rare, personal reflection amid the broader jubilations.
