Team India returned to India on Thursday. They were stuck in Barbados due to Hurricane Beryl. Upon their return, they met Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi at his residence, met their families and then flew to Mumbai for a special parade at Marine Drive and a celebration in Wankhede Stadium.

Captain Rohit Sharma and star batter Virat Kohli lifted the T20 World Cup 2024 trophy and showed it to the fans gathered in large numbers all along the route.

Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) secretary Jay Shah and Board vice president Rajiv Shukla were also with the players on the bus to celebrate the occasion. .

Players also wrapped themselves with Tricolour during the celebrations. Virat Kohli, Kuldeep Yadav, and Yuzvendra Chahal were among players who wore the national flag during the journey of the Vijay Rath.

A few team fans also climbed on the trees to get a better look of the players. Players held the trophy as they waved to the enthusiastic cricket fans.

Rohit held hands of team's head coach Rahul Dravid and batter Suryakumar Yadav and the three clasped towards the sky marking triumph of the team. The team later reached the Wankhede Stadium.

Apart from being one of the biggest actors in the world, Shah Rukh Khan also owns the IPL team Kolkata Knight Riders.
