In Pics: Victorious Team India arrive in India, head to quarantine

Team India players arrived in Mumbai and New Delhi airport from Australia on Thursday (January 21) morning after retaining the Border-Gavaskar Trophy with a 2-1 Test series win over Australia. It was a muted welcome of sorts with all of the cricketers arriving with face masks on and those arriving in Mumbai will have to go into at least four days of home quarantine.
