'Ek hi format se liya h bas': Ravindra Jadeja’s perfect reply as teammates tease him at WC anniversary party - Watch

In Birmingham, Team India took a sweet pause from Test match prep to celebrate the one-year anniversary of their historic 2024 T20 World Cup triumph. The BCCI shared a heartwarming video showing the current Test squad cutting a cake to mark the moment that ended India’s decade-long wait for an ICC trophy. Players who were part of that unbeaten World Cup squad — Rishabh Pant, Arshdeep Singh, Jasprit Bumrah, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Kuldeep Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja among others were all smiles as they relived memories of the famous night in the Caribbean. Bumrah, who was named Player of the Series back then, was asked by his teammates to do the honours and cut the cake. What followed was pure dressing-room fun. The players fed each other cake and shared a few laughs. In a playful moment, both Pant and Bumrah offered a piece to Jadeja, teasing him with “Happy retirement,” to which Jadeja quickly quipped, “Ek hi format se liya h bas,” reminding everyone he had only stepped away from T20Is. India’s 2024 T20 World Cup win remains fresh in every fan’s mind. Led by stellar performances with the bat and ball, India stayed unbeaten throughout the tournament and lifted the trophy by defeating South Africa in a high-pressure final. This light-hearted celebration in Birmingham served as a reminder of the spirit that carried India to glory and the memories that continue to push this squad forward as they look to bounce back in the Test series against England.
