In a festive victory procession through Mumbai, India’s skipper Rohit Sharma and prominent batsman Virat Kohli proudly presented the T20 World Cup 2024 trophy to the fans from atop a bus.

Virat and Rohit, brimming with joy during the elaborate festivities, displayed the shining trophy to the throngs of fans who had eagerly anticipated this event since the early hours.

Commencing at the National Centre for the Performing Arts (NCPA), the celebratory parade saw the cricketers travel on a double-decker bus.

The streets, especially along Marine Drive, were packed with fans who turned on their flashlights, creating a captivating visual scene as the victors’ cavalcade proceeded.

The ambiance was charged with excitement, as the air resonated with cheers of triumph and national pride. The commencement of India’s open-top bus parade, in honor of their T20 World Cup triumph, was initially slated for around 5 PM.

Nevertheless, the parade kicked off a bit later than scheduled due to the team’s delayed flight and the lively scenes at the airport. Despite these minor hitches, the celebration was an overwhelming success.

Marine Drive was overflowing with supporters, contributing to the vibrant mood as the Indian team’s bus inched its way toward the Wankhede Stadium.

Following the procession, an elaborate accolade ceremony was held at Wankhede Stadium, where the crowd joined in the festivities with the team.

It’s worth recalling that earlier in the day, upon their arrival at Delhi airport from the Caribbean, the team was greeted with enthusiastic cheers of “India, India,” after their return was postponed by Hurricane Beryl.

Subsequently, the team had the honor of meeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Adorned in jerseys bearing the title “Champions,” Rohit and his squad were featured on television as they convened with the nation’s leader.

Modi captured a moment with the team in a photograph before taking the time to converse with the players.
