Rohit Sharma arrived at Delhi airport, proudly displaying the World Cup trophy to the die-hard fans who had gathered for a glimpse.

India's star batter Virat Kohli ended his T20I career on a high note, scoring a match-winning 76 and earning the 'Player of the Match' award in the final against South Africa. With numerous T20 World Cup records and now the trophy, Virat returned to his home city as a world champion.

Hotel staff cheered for the heroes as World Cup-winning captain Rohit Sharma and head coach Rahul Dravid led the cake-cutting ceremony. Star batter Virat Kohli also received a warm welcome from the staff as he arrived to cut the cake. Vice-captain Hardik Pandya and other players followed soon after, heading to the team bus.

Team India met Prime Minister Narendra Modi at ITC Maurya and had breakfast together. PM Modi was happy to meet the nation's top cricketers. Photos showed the players smiling proudly as they posed with PM Modi for a picture.

The hotel staff organized a special welcome with a custom-made cake and tri-color welcome drinks. Another highlight was the arrangement of dhol drums. Hearing the beats, players like Suryakumar Yadav and skipper Rohit Sharma couldn't hide their excitement and joined the dancers.

 

Whether it's sun, rain, or wind, cricket is always in the hearts of Indian fans. Despite the rain, fans turned out in large numbers to cheer for Rohit Sharma's team on their landmark World Cup win.

After a tough loss to Australia in last year's 50-over World Cup, the Men in Blue bounced back in the T20 World Cup. They faced tough conditions and strong opponents, but emerged as the undefeated World Champions.
