The Indian cricket team arrived in New Delhi after a 16-hour flight from Barbados, where they were stuck for three days due to extreme weather conditions. Hurricane Beryl forced the players to extend their stay in the island nation, prompting the Board of Control for Cricket In India (BCCI) to arrange a special flight for them. Not just the players and their families, the Indian board also got the Indian journalists, in Barbados for the event, on the flight, rescuing them from an unpredictable weather situation that had resulted in all flights being cancelled in the city.
Thursday, July 5 was a memorable day for Team India as the side returned from Barbados and received a rousing reception in the nation.

Virat Kohli's form became a topic of concern for the team during the T20 World Cup 2024 as the star batter only managed 75 runs before the final. However, Kohli delivered when it mattered the most, scoring a match-winning 76 in the final against South Africa in Barbados. During a chat with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Kohli opened up that he had zero confidence heading into the final, and how the then head coach Rahul Dravid and India captain Rohit Sharma motivated him.
Shubman Gill-led Team India takes on Zimbabwe in the first T20I of the five-match series, starting June 6, Saturday. Gill has been handed over the duty to lead a young Indian team after the senior players have been rested for the tour. It is worth noting that Rohit Sharma, India's former captain in T20Is, called time on his career in the format after team's 2024 T20 World Cup triumph in Barbados last month. The likes of Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja also quit T20Is, giving more youngsters a chance to hone their skills and shine for India.
The special flight carrying the T20 World Cup 2024-winning Indian cricket team from New Delhi to Mumbai received a special water salute after landing at the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport on Thursday.

The Rohit Sharma-led side defeated South Africa in the final to clinch the T20 World Cup 2024 title - their first T20I World Cup title after 17 years. The water salute is generally done as a show of respect to the airplane as well as its crew and passengers. The India cricketers landed in New Delhi early in the morning on Thursday and then met Prime Minister Narendra Modi. In Mumbai, they are expected to take part in a victory parade which will end in a ceremony that will happen at the Wankhede Stadium.
