The champions will be driven around the city in a specially designed bus, making the occasion a visually spectacular and appropriate celebration of the team’s victory. The team is scheduled to arrive in Mumbai in the afternoon following their meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi at his residence in the morning.
The BCCI has arranged a road show for world champions in Mumbai from Nariman Point to Wankhede Stadium, where the team will be felicitated by the Indian board. The event is scheduled to start at 4 pm.
After arriving in the city, Rohit Sharma’s team and its support staff will make their way to the southern tip of the city which houses the Wankhede Stadium. The iconic stadium which witnessed India’s last ODI World Cup triumph in 2011 had its stands filled to the brim with passionate fans as thousands of others waited outside the gates which were closed around 5:00 pm.
The side was unable to head back home immediately after the title win due to a shutdown forced by Hurricane Beryl in Barbados. They were cocooned in their hotel before the BCCI secretary Jay Shah made arrangements for a special charter flight.
The Air India special charter flight AIC24WC — Air India Champions 24 World Cup — arrived in Delhi at 6 am (IST) on Thursday after a 16-hour non-stop journey.
