Shivam Dubey reached his home by train: Team India hoisted the tricolor at Narendra Modi Stadium, the world’s largest cricket ground, on Sunday night i.e. 8th March. India registered a historic victory of 96 runs over New Zealand in the final of T20 World Cup 2026. Although there were many heroes of this title win, but Shivam Dubey had the most important role. Dubey took New Zealand away from victory by hitting three fours and two sixes in the 20th over of the Indian innings and taking the Indian team’s score beyond 250. However, after this historic victory, Shivam Dubey, without wasting even a moment, left for his home by train, because his son and daughter were waiting at home.
Why did Shivam Dubey take train instead of flight?
According to the news published in Indian Express, ‘By Monday i.e. March 9, all the flights from Ahmedabad to Mumbai were fully booked, so Shivam Dubey decided to go home by train with his wife Anjum and a friend. Dubey, who was the hero of the T20 World Cup for India, knew that there was a danger of getting surrounded by the crowd.

TTE asked in the train – Who is Shivam Dubey, that cricketer?
According to media reports, after reaching his AC three-tier coach of Ahmedabad-Mumbai Sayaji Express, Shivam Dubey immediately climbed into the upper berth and lay down covered with a blanket. Then TTE (Travelling Ticket Examiner) came to check the ticket and asked who was on this seat? Shivam Dubey? That cricketer? Shivam’s wife Anjum replied without hesitation, ‘No-no. Where will he come here from? After the departure of TTE, tired of the long tournament and celebrations, Shivam Dubey tried to sleep during the eight-hour journey. During this time, he also went to the toilet at night, but no one recognized him in the train.
