West Indies became the only team to lift the ICC World T20 trophy for the second time after defeating England in the final at Eden Gardens by 4 wickets.
Earlier, the Windies Women, as the Caribbean female team is called, dethroned the Australian team by a victory of eight wickets.
The historic dream double saw both the teams celebrate their achievements by dancing in front of thousands of spectators to what else but Dwayne ‘DJ’ Bravo’s catchy ‘Champion’.

And the celebrations did not stop there. The West Indies team continued grooving to the song back in their dressing room, and into the night we imagine.

While Darren Sammy and Co celebrated in Kolkata, West Indies legend Brian Lara did his own jig to the ‘Champion’ song in Pakistan. Lara, who was part a panel of experts on PTV, was asked to dance to the song by host by Nauman Niaz. The video of a thrilled Lara performing the famous step with a huge grin on his face has now gone viral.

Usain Bolt, who wished both the teams luck prior to their matches, couldn’t resist joining in either. Celebrating back home in Jamaica, the sprinter performed a hilarious version of the dance while singing the lyrics out loud.
