Watch: Fan climbs tree to watch Team India's victory parade up close, video goes viral

Mumbai's Marine Drive was packed with thousands of fans eagerly awaiting Rohit Sharma-led Team India's victory parade in an open-top bus with the T20 World Cup trophy on Thursday evening. The excitement was palpable as traffic came to a standstill along the parade route, with cricket enthusiasts gathering in large numbers to catch a glimpse of the trophy en route to the Wankhede Stadium.

From the moment the Indian squad, triumphant in their World Cup win, landed at Mumbai airport from New Delhi, media cameras have been closely following their every move. The open-top bus, intended to transport the team for the parade, also faced delays as it navigated through the sea of fans on Marine Drive, requiring police intervention to continue its journey.

In the midst of the celebrations, a viral video has captured the attention of netizens, showcasing a daring fan who climbed a tree to get a closer look at the passing team bus. The unidentified individual managed to go unnoticed on the tree branch, snapping photos with the camera flash on as the Indian players waved to the crowds below.

The images and videos circulating online depict the fan's unique vantage point, lying on a tree branch, capturing the excitement of the parade as the Indian team celebrated their historic victory.
