New Delhi: In a grand celebration of India's cricketing triumph, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will personally welcome the victorious Team India as they returned home after clinching the T20 World Cup.
The champions arrived in Delhi aboard a specially chartered flight, fittingly named 'Champions World Cup 24'. This celebratory journey was undertaken on Air India's prestigious Boeing 777, which whisked the team from Barbados back to Indian soil.
At 11 AM, a grand reception will be held at the Prime Minister's residence, where the players will have the honour of meeting PM Modi. This will be followed by a jubilant journey to Mumbai, where an open bus roadshow will parade the champions from Nariman Point to the iconic Wankhede Stadium.
The festivities at Wankhede Stadium promise to be a momentous affair. The victorious team will be celebrated with a grand felicitation ceremony and will be awarded a staggering Rs 125 crore as a token of appreciation for their historic achievement. "Though the roadshow will be relatively short this time, spanning just 1 kilometer, it’s a symbol of our immense pride and joy. After 12 long years, the World Cup is finally coming home," Rajeev Shukla expressed with palpable excitement.
