India's Twenty20 World Cup hero Shivam Dube thought a train ride in disguise would keep him incognito - until a ticket-checker yelled his name. But just when Dube feared his ruse would fall apart, his quick-witted wife saved the day for the 32-year-old. ADVERTISEMENTDube planned to return home soon after India won the World Cup, beating New Zealand in the final in Ahmedabad on Sunday to be with his four-year-old son and two-year-old daughter. "They thought I was landing at the airport, but were surprised when I told them that I was travelling by train," he told the paper. The game further cemented its popularity in the world's most populous nation on Sunday when India became the first team to win three men's T20 World Cup titles.
