Virat Kohli shares a wholesome group picture as team India celebrates T20 World Cup victory with PM Modi

After their triumphant return to India, Team India had the honor of meeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi over breakfast at his residence. The Prime Minister shared a memorable moment with the champions, expressing his delight on social media. On his X handle, Modi posted a photo with the team, captioned, “An excellent meeting with our Champions! Hosted the World Cup winning team at 7, LKM and had a memorable conversation on their experiences through the tournament.”

Virat Kohli also shared a heartfelt post on Instagram, featuring the same photo. He wrote, "What a great honour meeting our honourable Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji today @narendramodi. Thank you sir for inviting us to the Prime Minister’s residence."

Following their meeting with the Prime Minister, Team India has a packed schedule ahead. They are set to arrive in Mumbai, where a grand victory parade has been organized. The celebrations will include an open bus trophy tour and a BCCI felicitation function at the Wankhede Stadium. For fans eager to join the festivities, entry to the Wankhede Stadium is free on a first-come, first-served basis, with gates opening at 4 pm. Due to the event, traffic restrictions have been implemented in South Mumbai to ensure smooth proceedings.

India's 13-year ICC World Cup trophy drought came to an end with a thrilling victory over South Africa in the final in Bridgetown, Barbados. The team's seven-run win was a momentous occasion that had fans across the nation celebrating. However, their return journey was not without its challenges. A hurricane in Barbados posed a threat, but the team was flown out of the West Indies on a specially arranged charter flight. 

Team India's victorious return has not only brought back the coveted trophy but also a renewed sense of pride and joy to the nation. The upcoming celebrations in Mumbai promise to be a grand spectacle, honouring the champions and their remarkable achievement. The impact of their victory on the nation is palpable, with fans eagerly awaiting the grand parade and other festivities.
