The Indian cricket team is set to arrive back home on Wednesday after lifting the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 trophy in Barbados. Millions of fans are waiting eagerly to give a rapturous welcome to the new T20 world champions who will first arrive in New Delhi on July 4.
The Indian contingent was scheduled to travel to New York to take an Emirates flight via Dubai to Mumbai but a hurricane in Barbados disrupted Team India's return plans. The BCCI organized a special Air India flight AIC24WC - Air India Champions 24 World Cup which departed from Barbados on Wednesday morning (4:50 AM local time).
The flight will land at New Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport on Thursday at 06:00 AM IST and is scheduled to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi at his residence for breakfast at 11:00 AM. The Indian team will then travel to Mumbai where the BCCI has hosted a victory parade and a welcome event at Wankhede Stadium in the evening (5:00 PM).
