India woke up today with extra smiles; it's not every day you become world champions in cricket. Rohit Sharma and his team made history in Bridgetown, Barbados, 13,716 km from Mumbai, in a thrilling ICC T20 World Cup 2024 Final match against South Africa.

Even if Indian cricket fans went to bed late, their sleep quality was surely good, with at least 1.5-2 hours of deep, carefree sleep. After all, they had every reason to be happy.

The long 11-year wait - 4024 days, or approximately 96,600 hours - finally ended on June 29, as India lifted the coveted ICC trophy once more. They had to wait for 4838 days to see Team India become World Champions.

It took 223 days and almost 5,354 hours for the Indian cricket team and its fans to recover from the defeat to Australia on November 19, 2023. That day, led by Pat Cummins, Australia shattered India's dreams, defeating them by six wickets in the final. Indian fans hoped Rohit Sharma would emulate MS Dhoni by winning the ODI World Cup as hosts, but it wasn't meant to be, plunging the nation into mourning.

Today, everything feels sweeter: the tea or coffee, even the blandest breakfast, the air, and the smiles of millions of Indian cricket fans. After all, waking up as world champions is special.

Their morning routine of scrolling through social media brings extra joy, filled with celebratory posts. There's no need to defend their team or deal with taunts from their neighbours in Pakistan and Bangladesh. Instead, it's the start of long celebrations, proudly flaunting their world champion status.

The festivities that began last night are set to continue, making social media a friendlier place for Indian fans in the coming days and weeks. The nation eagerly awaits the triumphant return of their cricket team.
