Victory Parade for Team India's T20 World Cup Triumph

The Indian cricket team will partake in a celebratory road show and felicitation ceremony after their T20 World Cup win. The procession will start from Nariman Point and conclude at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai. The team and their supporters travelled on a special Air India flight following departure delays due to Hurricane Beryl.

The victorious Indian cricket team is set to celebrate their T20 World Cup triumph with an open bus road show and felicitation ceremony at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Thursday.

Having departed from Barbados' Grantley Adams International Airport on a chartered Air India flight with a special call sign, AIC24WC - Air India Champions 24 World Cup, the team is expected to reach New Delhi early on Thursday morning. The departure was delayed due to Hurricane Beryl; however, the team, support staff, players' families, board officials, and Indian media eventually managed to leave Barbados.

BCCI vice-president Rajeev Shukla confirmed the special Air India flight, which also includes BCCI president Roger Binny and secretary Jay Shah, who are overseeing arrangements. The flight will land in Delhi at 6 am, and the team is scheduled to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi at 11 am at his residence. Following this, the team will fly to Mumbai for the ceremony.

The open bus parade will commence from the National Centre for Performing Arts (NCPA) near Nariman Point at around 5 pm, lasting for approximately two hours before reaching the Wankhede Stadium. A felicitation event honoring the players and squad members is set between 7 pm and 7:30 pm, followed by the team's return to their hotel.

BCCI secretary Jay Shah and victorious India captain Rohit Sharma took to social media, inviting fans to join the victory parade and celebrations at Marine Drive and Wankhede Stadium.

The last such roadshow took place 17 years ago after Mahendra Singh Dhoni's team beat Pakistan in the 2007 World T20. Rohit Sharma's team clinched the title in a nail-biting seven-run win over South Africa at the Kensington Oval on Saturday.
