Team India Returns to Delhi After Winning T20 World Cup
The Indian cricket team landed in Delhi on Thursday morning after their T20 World Cup victory in Barbados. Hundreds of fans gathered outside the Indira Gandhi International Airport, holding placards and waving the national flag to welcome the victorious players.
A fan, Piyush Arora, expressed his happiness, saying, “We came to T3 because we are very excited. We came to the airport at 3 AM.” Another young fan, Viren, said, “I am a huge fan of Jasprit Bumrah and I am waiting for him. I have been standing here since 5:30 AM. I am a huge fan of the Indian Cricket Team.”
Supporter Shubham shared, “I have drawn these two sketches of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. I came here at the airport around 4:30 AM just to have a glimpse of Team India with the trophy. We are all really happy.”
Meanwhile, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) wrote on X, “It’s home #TeamIndia.” The squad is expected to leave for Mumbai on Thursday evening for a victory parade and a felicitation ceremony at the Wankhede Stadium.
Earlier, World Cup-winning captain Rohit Sharma shared a special message inviting fans to the victory parade at Marine Drive and the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai to celebrate the team’s ICC T20 World Cup glory. The Men in Blue defeated South Africa by seven runs in the final to win their second ICC Men’s T20 World Cup. The celebrations will include an open-top bus ride in Mumbai from 5:00 PM onwards.
