The fever of Champions Trophy 2025 triumph is refusing to die down as the players have returned home and are receiving a king-like welcome. Unlike the T20 World Cup 2024, the BCCI has not scheduled an open bus-parade to celebrate Champions Trophy success and also asked the players to return home individually to prepare for IPL 2025 which begins on March 22.
Harshit Rana Gets Upset With Reporter
Despite no post-win celebrations, the players' families and hometowns have left no stone unturned in giving their star the best welcome. The likes of Gautam Gambhir, KL Rahul, and Rohit Sharma were mobbed on the streets and received a warm welcome. However, the same was not for everyone as a video has been doing rounds on the internet where star bowler Harshit Rana got angry at a reporter for taking an interview as he was heading towards his car.
The fans were left unhappy with Rana's reaction as he can be heard telling the reporter to not take the interview. He then headed to his car and looked dejected. A section of the fans also felt bad for the KKR star as he had no one around to celebrate his arrival at the airport. It was a dull ambience.
Harshit Rana Receives Cold Reception After Returning Home
Some fans also came to Harshit's defence and remarked that the reporter shouldn't have forced him into an interview. Talking about Rana's performance in the Champions Trophy, he started the tournament for the Men in Blue but was replaced by Varun Chakaravarthy in the latter half of the Champions Trophy. Rana featured in just two matches and performed decently with five wickets in two games.
