Watch: Passengers Celebrate India's T20 World Cup Victory On Vistara Flight

In a dominant victory over South Africa, India secured their second T20 World Cup title by edging out South Africa by a narrow 7-run margin in the final. This victory marks India's return to ICC glory after an 11-year hiatus, their first World Cup triumph since 2011. Soon after, millions celebrated the Men in Blue for their outstanding performance in the final match.

The same excitement and enthusiasm also prevailed 40,000 feet above sea level. A video going viral on the internet shows passengers on a London-bound Vistara flight watching the match live on their laptops. X user Vinamra Longani shared a video showing the passengers watching the nail-biting match and then erupting in cheers after the win. 

''TeamIndia's win of the #T20WorldCup2024 being celebrated 40,000 ft in the air on a @airvistara flight enroute #London! My friend @i_hardeepsingh (in yellow watching the match on his laptop) just sent me this. You have got to love In-flight WiFi,'' the caption of the video read.
