Cricket fans may have missed an opportunity to rub shoulders with a sports hero, as Indian cricketer Shivam Dube made a discreet train journey from Ahmedabad to Mumbai. Following a stellar performance in the T20 World Cup final, where he added 24 pivotal runs, Dube opted for rail travel due to fully booked flights.

With his wife Anjum and a friend beside him, Dube chose the Sayaji Nagari Express, wearing a cap, mask, and full-sleeved T-shirt to maintain anonymity among co-passengers. Concerns over fan recognition prompted him to seek police assistance for a low-profile exit at Mumbai's Borivali station.
