There was a festive atmosphere across India after winning the 2026 T20 World Cup. Crores of cricket fans were in joy. Indian all-rounder Shivam Dube played an important role in that historic victory. However, the story of his return home after winning the World Cup has become a topic of discussion for cricket fans. Because despite being an international cricket star, he traveled from Ahmedabad to Mumbai in a third AC train like a normal person.
This incident is not only surprising, but also comes to the fore as a great example of the simple life of cricketers.
Dube's extraordinary performance in the World Cup
Shivam Dube was one of the most reliable batsmen of the Indian team in the 2026 T20 World Cup. He was in great form throughout the tournament and scored important runs for the team in several important matches.
He scored 235 runs in the entire tournament. His batting was aggressive and responsible according to the match situation.
Especially in the final, his short but explosive innings against the New Zealand national cricket team turned the match around. He quickly increased India's score by scoring 26 runs off just 8 balls. This innings played a significant role in India's victory.
Dubey became one of the most talked about cricketers of the World Cup for this performance.
Decision to return by train after not getting a flight
After winning the World Cup, players usually return home by plane quickly. Sometimes special chartered flights are also arranged for them.
But in Dubey's case, the situation was a little different.
When he was looking for a flight from Ahmedabad to Mumbai, it was found that all the flight tickets were already booked. As a result, he had no other option.
Then he decided to return to Mumbai by train.
He bought a ticket for the Third AC (3AC) coach and was accompanied by his wife and a friend. This is certainly an unusual event for an international cricketer, but Dubey did not try to take any special advantage.
The entire journey in disguise
Since he is an important member of the World Cup-winning team, if he was recognized, the train could have been crowded with fans.
For this reason, Dubey decided to hide himself throughout the journey.
He wore a cap, mask and full-sleeved T-shirt. He also slept on the upper berth of the train most of the time so that other passengers could not easily see him.
Due to this disguise, many passengers did not realize that a World Cup winning cricketer was travelling with them in the same train.
Funny moment with the ticket checker
A funny incident happened on the journey which later went viral.
When the ticket checker arrived on the train, he was a little suspicious when he saw Dubey. Maybe he thought that the person could be the famous cricketer of India.
Then he asked Dubey's wife —
“Is he Shivam Dubey?”
Hearing this question, Dubey's wife replied very intelligently —
“No no, from where will he be Shivam Dubey!”
Hearing this answer, the ticket checker did not say anything else and left. As a result, Dubey's identity remained a secret and they could continue their journey without any trouble.
Police escort upon arrival at Borivali station
When the train reached Borivali station in Mumbai, Dubey was a little worried. Because if fans recognized him at the station during the day, there could be a huge crowd.
To avoid this situation, he arranged for a police escort in advance.
With the help of the police, he was able to get out of the station safely and set off for home without any chaos.
A remarkable example of ordinary life
This incident of Shivam Dubey shows that despite being a big star, many cricketers prefer to live a very simple life.
Despite achieving great achievements like winning the World Cup, he traveled by ordinary train without taking any luxurious arrangements—which is very inspiring to many fans.
This incident also created a lot of discussion on social media. Many said that such simplicity of an international cricketer is really admirable.
Fan love increased
After this incident, the love for Shivam Dubey among cricket fans has increased even more.
Many believe that his performance on the field is as extraordinary as his personality off the field is also very humble and ordinary.
Returning home by ordinary train despite being the hero of winning the World Cup - this story can become one of the most memorable events in Indian cricket in the future.
In short, Shivam Dube has made a special place in the hearts of fans not only for his bat and ball, but also for his simple lifestyle. Just as his contribution to winning the 2026 T20 World Cup is important, the story of his train journey after the World Cup will also be a unique chapter in cricket history.
