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.
