MUMBAI: "Mumbai never disappoints". Those words of Rohit Sharma aptly summed up the reception Mumbaikars dished out to his T20 World Cup winning squad - at the Marine Drive and then at the Wankhede Stadium on Thursday.
Seven months ago, the man from Mumbai was distraught as he left the field, teary eyed, after India lost in the final of the ODI World Cup at Ahmedabad. Since lifting the trophy in Bridgetown last Saturday, the smile hasn't left his face. It continued Thursday as well, as he led the celebrations and soaked in the jubilant atmosphere in his hometown, on his home turf.
