"My Tinder match got me taking flying kisses from Kohli"
For one Indian woman, she enjoyed her “best first date” at India’s victory parade following the side’s T20 World Cup win.
Yashi Verma met with her Tinder match in Mumbai on July 4, 2024, and shared a few pictures to document the memorable date.
Thousands of fans gathered at Marine Drive as the national side celebrated in style.
Team India’s open-bus parade through one of Mumbai’s iconic spots was the highlight of the evening as people waited with bated breath to catch a glimpse of the Men in Blue.
Meanwhile, as Virat Kohli blew flying kisses to the crowd, Yashi was lucky enough to witness the moment.
Sharing a picture of herself and her date holding the Indian flag, Yashi captioned the post:
“My Tinder match got me taking flying kisses from Kohli at the victory parade. Best first date ever.”
Another picture featured her date and the caption:
“For every November 19, there is a June 29.”
The first date was in reference to India’s heartbreaking loss to Australia in the ODI World Cup final.
India triumphed against South Africa in the T20 World Cup final, winning by seven runs.
Meanwhile, Yashi’s tweet went viral and many netizens gave their thoughts on her date.
One said: “Best wishes to you guys.”
Many stated that Yashi should marry her date, with one writing:
“Marry him right now.”
Another said: “If he is a Kohli fan, he is husband material.”
A third agreed: “Marry that guy.”
A user advised the Indian woman:
“Just be with him for eternity.”
India’s return had been delayed due to Hurricane Beryl.
Fans had eagerly awaited India’s return, with some waiting since the early hours of the morning.
One fan who claimed to have been waiting since 4:30 am said:
“We have waited for this moment for the past 13 years. The team has made us proud by winning the World Cup.”
Another group that waited outside the airport said:
“We have been here since last night. It was very important for us to win this World Cup after losing the ODI World Cup last year.”
Team India’s victory parade was followed by a dance and music celebration in the iconic Wankhede Stadium where India had won their ODI World Cup title in 2011 under the captaincy of MS Dhoni.
Before the victory parade, the cricket team met Prime Minister Narendra Modi at his residence for breakfast after landing in New Delhi.
