T20 World Champions Team India land in New Delhi
New Delhi/IBNS: The Indian cricket team, who sealed their second T20 World Cup victory just a few days ago, arrived in India from the West Indies where the mega tournament was played.
India captain Rohit Sharma, head coach Rahul Dravid and other players including icon Virat Kohli were seen celebrating with a cake-cutting ceremony at the hotel where they checked in upon reaching the national capital.
The cricketers' departure from West Indies' Barbados was delayed due to Hurricane Beryl.
In the packed daylong schedule, Team India will meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi at his office and then leave for Mumbai after a breakfast session.
Much like the celebrations after India's win at inaugural T20 World Cup in 2007, the cricketers and other staff members will be on a roadshow in an open bus from Nariman Point in Mumbai this evening.
After the roadshow, Team India members will be felicitated at the Wankhede Stadium in the city.
India ended the 11-year ICC trophy drought by winning the T20 World Cup clinching a 7-run victory over South Africa in a match which was swaying away from the men-in-blue at one point of time.
