Following the conclusion of the final between the South African and Pakistani champions on August 2 at Edgbaston, Birmingham, WCL owner Harshit Tomar had a huge surprise planned for tournament presenter Karishma Kotak.
With his brilliant century in the final, AB de Villiers turned back time and assisted South Africa in defeating Pakistan by a margin of nine wickets. Within 17 overs, they managed to chase down a target of 196 runs.
The summit altercation was amusing, but Harshit Tomar remarks astounded everyone.
As the tournament’s second season drew to a close, Kotak, a former Indian Premier League (IPL) presenter, asked Harshit Tomar what he would do and how he would celebrate. According to the latter, he would then ask her to marry him. Kotak looked taken aback by this remark. In little time at all, the video of this exchange went popular on social media.
“How are you going to celebrate today?” Kotak enquired.
Harshit replied as follows:
“Probably once this is over, I’m going to propose to you.”
