Shah Rukh wrote on X, “Seeing the boys so happy and emotional fills my heart with pride… For us Indians, this is an incredible moment – seeing our boys take us to such heights!!! Love you all, my Team India… and now dance the night away. Boys in Blue chase away all sadness! Congratulations to @BCCI, @JayShah and the entire support team who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to enable our boys to soar through the skies.”
