New Delhi [India], Team India's T20 World Cup-winning captain Rohit Sharma celebrated his team's triumph by breaking into dance after receiving a warm welcome from fans at the Delhi airport on Wednesday.
The ICC T20 World Cup-winning Indian team landed in Delhi on Thursday to a warm welcome from fans who were hoping to catch a glimpse of their favorite heroes and see the silverware.
Team members, support staff, their families and media were trapped in Barbados, which was hit by Hurricane Beryl, at the time a category four hurricane that passed through Barbados, with Grantley Adams International Airport in Bridgetown closed for three days.
The flight was organized by Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) secretary Jay Shah and departed on July 2 before arriving in Delhi around 6:00 am. on Thursday morning. Also on the flight were board officials and members of the tournament's media contingent.
India ended a 13-year ICC trophy drought with a victory in the final, defeating South Africa by seven runs on Saturday. Virat Kohli's 76 helped India reach 176/7, while Hardik Pandya (3/20) and Jasprit Bumrah (2/18) helped India restrict the Proteas to 169/8 despite Heinrich Klaasen's 52 in just 27 balls. Bumrah, who bagged 15 scalps throughout the tournament with an astonishing economy rate of 4.17, bagged the 'Player of the Tournament' honours.
From the hotel, the Indian team reached the ITC Maurya hotel, where they would stay before their meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Notably, Virat, Rohit, Hardik, head coach Rahul Dravid and Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) president Roger Binny were seen at the hotel.
