Team India returns triumphant: Fans go wild at Delhi Airport as Virat Kohi, Rohit & others do victory dance

Team India returned home to a hero's welcome at the Indira Gandhi International Airport in New Delhi on Thursday, July 4, after clinching the T20 World Cup title in a thrilling match. The Men in Blue, having endured a long 16-hour flight from Barbados, landed in the early hours of the morning to find a massive crowd of enthusiastic fans waiting to celebrate their victory.

Virat Kohli, one of the star players, was among the first to exit the airport and was greeted with cheers and applause. He waved at the crowd with a smile and a thumbs up, clearly moved by the overwhelming support. The excitement didn’t stop there. The players soon joined in a spontaneous dance procession, which quickly went viral on social media. Videos of the team dancing with fans showcased the joy and unity that this victory brought to the nation.

The journey to the T20 World Cup title was anything but easy. India faced a tough final against South Africa. Despite a rocky start with 34/3 in 4.3 overs, Kohli’s vintage performance helped steer the team to a competitive score of 176/7 in their 20 overs. South Africa seemed to be on track for a win, needing just 30 runs off the last five overs. However, the Indian seamers pulled off a remarkable turnaround, securing a seven-run victory and India’s second T20 World Cup trophy.

Following their arrival, the team headed to ITC Maurya in New Delhi, where they were scheduled to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi at 11 am. After their meeting with the PM, the celebrations were set to continue in Mumbai. Rohit Sharma tweeted late Wednesday night, announcing a grand procession at Marine Drive and Wankhede Stadium, inviting fans to join the celebration with the World Cup trophy.

In a bittersweet moment for fans, both Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma declared their retirement from T20 internationals, marking the end of an era. Their departure adds an emotional layer to the celebrations, as fans will gather to honor their contributions and legacy in Indian cricket.

The jubilant homecoming, filled with dance, joy, and a touch of nostalgia, marks a historic moment for Indian cricket, celebrating both the glorious present and the cherished memories of two of its greatest players.
