Soon after India's victory, Delhi police took to X and tweeted, "We all waited 16 years 9 months 5 days (52,70,40,000 seconds) for India to win another #T20WorldCup. Let's be a little patient at traffic signals too. Good moments are worth the wait. What say? Hearty congratulations, #TeamIndia. #INDvsSA #INDvSA."
The UP Police displayed their sense of humor with a tweet that cleverly compared the Indian bowlers' performance to a skillful and popular achievement.
"Breaking News: Indian bowlers found guilty of breaking South African hearts. Sentence: Lifelong love from a billion fans! #INDvSAFinal #T20WorldCupFinal," the UP Police wrote.
The Mumbai Traffic Police joined the celebration by sharing a photo of Rohit Sharma in a car with a number plate reading "IND 29 June 2024".
"The Dream Come True Number Plate! #UnStoppables #IndVsSA #WorldChampions," the Mumbai Traffic Police captioned the photo.
The final match marked a victory and the end of an era, as two of Indian cricket's all-time greats, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, announced their retirement from T20 Internationals.
In an emotional post-match press conference, Sharma declared,
"This was my last game as well. No better time to say goodbye. I wanted this (trophy) badly. It's very hard to put in words."
"This what I wanted and it happened. I was very desperate for this in my life. Happy that we crossed the line this time," he added.
