The Indian cricket team, which has won the T20 World Cup, is returning home. Fans are eager to know how Team India will be welcomed and whether there will be a victory parade. These are some of the questions on the minds of Indian cricket fans. However, one thing has become clear now: the Indian team’s return.
After defeating South Africa by 7 runs in the T20 World Cup final in Barbados on June 29, Rohit Sharma and his team are heading back to India. According to information from ‘Aaj Tak’, the Indian team will fly directly to Delhi, with their flight scheduled to land at 6 AM.
Media personnel who were accompanying the Indian cricket team in Barbados are also stranded. About 20 individuals are stuck there, and BCCI Secretary Jay Shah has proposed a special chartered flight to bring them back to Delhi along with the Indian team.
Earlier, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) had also provided a significant update on the return of the Indian team. BCCI Vice President Rajeev Shukla shared an update on July 2, expressing relief that Team India is flying back from Barbados after being stranded for three days due to a severe storm.

Following this victory, Virat Kohli, captain Rohit Sharma, and star all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja retired from T20 Internationals.
