In a video shared a day after India clinched the title, Ayushmann passionately recited his shayari, a testament to his admiration for players like Virat Kohli, skipper Rohit Sharma, and the formidable Suryakumar Yadav. Beyond celebrating their on-field prowess, he emphasised the importance of unity and respect off the pitch, urging fans to refrain from divisive behaviour, especially concerning religious affiliations.

A part of his wholesome shayari said, “Semi-finals me Kohli ke muh se nikla tha Ben-Strokes, tab toh alochakon ne laga diye they saare chokes. Aur ye final me dikha diya legend ne apna Virat roop, samjho pyaare yehi hai Jeevan chaaon aur dhoop. Pandhya ko bhi pichle do mahine se bahut kuch kaha sunaya, aakhiri over me fir usi ne toh jalwa dikhaya. Aur moochein ho toh Hardik jaisi ho varna na ho aur bowling figures ho toh Bumrah jaisi ho warna na ho.”

Moments after the final match, Ayushmann Khurrana further extended his support by virtually embracing the victorious squad through a heartfelt video. Overflowing with pride, his social media post encapsulated the collective euphoria felt across the nation in response to this historic win.
