India won the ICC T20 World Cup on 30th June 2024 but could not return immediately due to the Category 4 Hurricane Beryl that made its landfall in Grenada on Monday. The team members, staff, their families and media persons finally boarded a chartered plane arranged by BCCI on Wednesday from Barbados.
The World champions will also hold a parade and celebrations at Marine Drive and Wandhede Stadium in Mumbai later today.
BCCI Jay Shah has announced a prize money of Rs 125 Crores for Team India for winning the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024.
