Team members, support staff, their families and media were stranded in Barbados as Hurricane Beryl, then a Category 4 storm, passed through Barbados, with Grantley Adams International Airport in Bridgetown closed for three days.

Organised by Board of Control for Cricket in India secretary Jay Shah, the flight took off on July 2 and arrived in Delhi around 6am on Thursday. Board officials and members of the tournament's media team were also present.

As soon as the Indian players arrived at the airport, the fans welcomed them warmly amidst loud cheers, chanting 'India, India' at the top of their lungs, while some also shouted the names of their favourite players upon seeing them. The players in blue also acknowledged the support of the fans and waved to them after boarding the team bus.

India ended their 13-year drought in the ICC Cup with a seven-wicket final win over South Africa on Saturday. Virat Kohli's 76 runs helped India reach 176/7 while Hardik Pandya (3/20) and Jasprit Bumrah (2/18) helped India restrict the Proteas to 169/8 despite Heinrich Klaassen scoring 52 runs in just 27 balls. Bumrah, who scored 15 runs throughout the tournament at an impressive economy rate of 4.17, was awarded the 'Player of the Tournament' award.

A special cake representing the T20 World Cup will be cut at the ITC Maurya to celebrate the victory.

Similar to what other teams do after winning the title, the Rohit-led team will take an open-top bus in Mumbai from Marine Drive to the famous Wankhede Stadium from 5 pm onwards to celebrate.

After their meeting with Prime Minister Modi, the Men in Blue will leave for Mumbai for a grand ceremonial parade. (ANI)
