Unexpected Train Journey of Shivam Dube After the 2026 ICC Men’s World Cup Win. By CricketBinge Desk • Published March 16, 2026 • player Share: Facebook Twitter Indian all-rounder Shivam Dube recently made the headlines due to an unusual reason following India’s win in the 2026 ICC Men’s T20 world cup. Instead of travelling with luxury arrangements, he got on a silent train ride from Ahmedabad to Mumbai, a story that spread explosively among cricket lovers immediately. Why did Shivam Dube take a Train? After India’s exuberant world cup win in Ahmedabad, the players and the staff started going back to their cities. But due to huge travel demand coupled with festivities in the country, most flights from Ahmedabad were full. With little to do, Dube chose to board a train to Mumbai where he resides with his family. He took the Ahmedabad-Mumbai Sayaji Express and travelled in Third AC with his wife and a close friend. This story is interesting because Dube did not want the attention of the people after the World Cup win so he wore a cap, a mask and full sleeve clothes to remain undetected. He slept on the top berth most of the way, wrapped himself in a blanket, hoping to not get recognised by other passengers. A close call with the TC. Despite the disguise, his cover was about to blow off when a ticket checker suspected that the man sitting on the upper berth could possibly be the popular Indian cricketer. With curiosity increasing, the situation might have easily caught the attention of other travellers.However, Dube’s wife managed the situation wittily. She casually replied that the person on the upper birth was not the cricketer all were talking of and the group went on it’s way without drawing any needless attention. The quick and casual response worked and TC moved on without causing a scene. A truly humble moment that fans adored. Upon arrival in Mumbai, local officials helped Dube to get out of the station safely. After the news of the story broke, fans were shocked to see a world cup winning cricketer riding like a commoner. The incident swiftly turned into a social media buzz, and most of them praised Dube because of his simplicity and humble personality. In a world where players are surrounded by security and luxury, the view of a world cup hero silently riding a train was all too familiar. Although the triumph of the tournament itself was historic, this minor off the field incident revealed the other side of the cricketer. To most fans, the simple train ride by Shivam Dube became yet another story to remember from the 2026 T20 world cup celebrations.
