The famous tagline ‘It’s coming home,’ used by BCCI, is a common chant amongst England football fans. These words have been taken from a famous song called Three-Lions. In recent years, the ‘It’s Coming Home’ chant has been used by several teams and fans across a variety of sports and the Indian cricket team is now the latest addition to have used this iconic saying.
The T20 World Cup 2024 brought an end to India’s 11-year wait for an ICC trophy. The Indian cricket team last won an ICC title in 2013 after emerging victorious in the Champions Trophy. Since then, they went on to lose several finals, including a T20 World Cup in 2014, a Champions Trophy in 2017 an ODI World Cup in 2023 and back-to-back Test Championships between 2021-23.
India will next face Zimbabwe in a five-match T20I series. The first match of the series will be played on Saturday, July 6 at the Harare Sports Club.
