The Indian team departed for Delhi aboard a charter flight from the Grantley Adams International Airport yesterday. Members of the Indian team were stranded for three days due to a category-four hurricane in Barbados. Air India's special charter flight, named after the winning squad, Air India Champions 24 World Cup (AIC24WC), left the Caribbean island at 4:50 a.m. local time and landed in the national capital at around 6:20 a.m. (IST) today.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) arranged the charter flight for the Indian squad, support staff, the players' families, board officials and members of the travelling media contingent after the departure of the Indian squad was delayed due to Hurricane Beryl. BCCI vice-president Rajeev Shukla revealed that Indian journalists, who were stuck in Barbados, boarded the same flight along with BCCI president Roger Binny and secretary Jay Shah.
After receiving a heroes' welcome, Rohit's Team India travelled to the ITC Maurya where it was Rishabh Pant who carried the trophy inside. They then met PM Narendra Modi at 11am at his residence. After interacting with the Prime Minister and having breakfast with him, the team briefly headed back to the Maurya and then went onwards to the Delhi airport where they boarded a flight for Mumbai. The open-top bus, on which the Indian team is set to do a victory parade along the famous Marine Drive from Nariman Point to the Wankhede Stadium, is in place outside the National Centre for Performing Arts (NCPA). A felicitation will be held at the Wankhede Stadium after the parade for the team and entry for the event is free.
