They set foot on Indian soil 105 hours after winning the title when nature calmed down. Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav started the celebration on reaching the ground on Thursday morning. There are various arrangements to welcome them.
The Indian team arrived on the ground at 6:50 a.m. local time on Thursday. After a one-way reception from the airport, Rohit was taken to a five-star hotel in Delhi. After some rest there, they met the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi. Then they moved to Mumbai. There will be a World Cup festival. An open-top bus has been kept ready for the Rohits. They will tour the city in that bus with the World Cup title.
Airports in the West Indies have been closed since last Sunday due to Hurricane Beryl. As a result, the Indian team could not return home as per the scheduled schedule. BCCI contacted the Air India authorities and arranged a special flight to solve the problem. A flight from Newark, New Jersey to Barbados. Then Rohit-Kohli returned to the country after a 16-hour journey on that special plane.
