This was however done against a backdrop of heavily rainy weather, but hundreds of fans trooped into the airport carrying the national flag and other special banners to welcome their World Cup stars. There was joy and jubilation among the people as fans gathered in large numbers to welcome back the victorious team and publicly demonstrated their Indian arrest, passion, and love for the Indian cricket heroes.

To be specific, hundreds of people have been waiting in the cold weather beyond the airport, brandishing the flag of their country and holding special large posters to welcome their favorite player from the World Cup. There was joy, like when a winning team is brought back home. The crowd was enthusiastic, and this was evident in their dancing.
The team boarded a bus from the airport on a rainy New Delhi morning where thousands of fans chanted the players’ names. Post that, they all reached ITC Maurya, in Chanakyapuri, where the team stayed for a few hours before leaving for PM’s residence. The last five days have been exhilarating for Team India, despite the weather and logistical challenges, the overall mood has been fantastic.
