Indian cricket captain Rohit Sharma received a heartwarming welcome from his family, friends, and teammate Tilak Varma upon his return home following India's T20 World Cup victory in the West Indies.
The team's return was delayed due to Hurricane Beryl, but they were finally able to fly back to India on Thursday. After a meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Delhi, the team arrived in Mumbai where they participated in a jubilant victory parade. At the Wankhede Stadium, fans and players sang the 'Vande Mataram' song together, and the BCCI awarded the team a significant prize of 125 crore rupees for their win.
