The entire crowd went berserk seeing their star players dancing and celebrating India’s victory at an ICC event, after a hiatus of 11 years.
“We have waited for this moment for the past 13 years. The team has made us proud by winning the World Cup,” a fan, who claimed to have been waiting since 4:30am in the morning said, referring to India’s last World Cup triumph which came back in 2011.
Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and other members of the team had been stuck in Barbados (the venue of the final) since Monday, as airports had been shut due to Hurricane Beryl hitting the Caribbean city. However, after a special flight was arranged for Team India, they were able to land in the early hours of Thursday morning. The players are now scheduled to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi, before embarking on an open-top bus parade in Mumbai.
India’s return flight had a special call sign assigned by Air India: AIC24WC, standing for Air India Champions 24 World Cup.
The team is expected to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi later in the day, at around 11 am, in the national capital.
From there, the team will fly to Mumbai, where a special ceremony has been organised to celebrate the T20 World Cup triumph. The players and staff will travel to Mumbai by 4 pm, after which they’ll celebrate across the city on an open-top bus parade for the following two hours.
