Team India, champions of the T20 World Cup 2024 , received a hero's welcome upon their arrival in Delhi early Thursday morning. The Indira Gandhi International airport buzzed with excitement as fans gathered in droves to greet their cricketing heroes. Leading the way was Virat Kohli , emerging first from Terminal 3 to thunderous applause and chants of 'Bharat Mata Ki Jai'.
The excitement continued as the team boarded a bus to their hotel, followed closely by enthusiastic supporters. Upon arriving at the ITC Maurya hotel, the world champions were greeted with vibrant drum beats. Suryakumar Yadav couldn't resist joining in, treating everyone to an impromptu bhangra performance that delighted the crowd.
The team's journey began with a special Air India charter flight, AIC24WC, which departed from Barbados at 4:50 AM on Wednesday and landed in Delhi at 6 AM IST on Thursday. Onboard were the players, their families, and several board officials, all returning home after a victorious campaign.
India's thrilling seven-run victory over South Africa in the T20 World Cup final on June 29 secured the nation's fourth World Cup title. However, their return was delayed by Hurricane Beryl, which had caused a shutdown, extending their stay in Barbados.
The celebrations continued as the team met Prime Minister Narendra Modi at his official residence. Following this prestigious meeting, the champions flew to Mumbai for an open bus victory parade . The festivities will culminate in a grand felicitation ceremony at the Wankhede Stadium, honoring the team’s remarkable achievement.
