Logan Van Beek, a key player for the Netherlands cricket team in the ICC ODI World Cup 2023, made his India tour memorable by giving a grand welcome to his mother and wife ahead of the team’s last game against England. Van Beek, who has already secured 12 wickets in seven tournament appearances, expressed his joy at reuniting with his family after a prolonged separation.
The Dutch pacer showcased his love for his family by arranging a special welcome at the JW Marriott in Pune, capturing the heart of the moment on Instagram. Clad in a traditional Indian outfit, Van Beek embraced the desi vibe in the hotel lobby, setting the stage for a memorable reunion.
Van Beek chose the title track from the Bollywood film ‘Welcome,’ featuring Akshay Kumar, as the soundtrack for the event. In his Instagram caption, he expressed gratitude to JW Marriott Pune for helping him create a warm welcome for the “two most important women in his life.”
The video shared by Van Beek on Instagram revealed the emotional reunion between the cricketer, his wife Elitsa, and his mother. Having been away for almost three months due to cricket commitments, Van Beek made the moment special with bouquets of beautiful flowers and a portable speaker playing the ‘Welcome’ song.
The heartwarming scene unfolded as Elitsa emerged from a cab, sharing a tight hug with her husband. The couple then joyfully danced to the beats of the background song. The hotel staff added to the warmth by presenting bouquets to Van Beek’s family, marking a beautiful welcome to India in true desi style.
