Following India’s thrilling T20 World Cup victory in Barbados, skipper Rohit Sharma received a hero’s welcome upon returning home.
A photo shared by his official team media account captured Rohit standing at his doorway, titled “home sweet home.” The floor was adorned with flower petals, a heartwarming touch for the returning champion. Rohit also took to Instagram, dedicating the win to the entire nation with a simple yet powerful message: “India this is for YOU.“
Earlier, the T20 World Cup heroes were greeted by a cheering crowd in Delhi upon their arrival. After meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the team continued their journey to Mumbai, where an unforgettable victory parade awaited.
Thousands of passionate fans lined the streets from Marine Drive to the iconic Wankhede Stadium, creating a sea of blue to celebrate the champions. The BCCI felicitated the team with a grand ceremony at the stadium, where players received the prize money and shared their experiences with the ecstatic crowd. The celebrations culminated in a victory lap with the entire team, accompanied by the chants and cheers of their adoring fans.

The Indian team’s special flight back from Barbados, arranged by BCCI secretary Jay Shah, ensured a safe return despite the recent hurricane in the Caribbean nation.
This victory marks the end of a 13-year wait for an ICC World Cup trophy for India. Rohit, who played a crucial role throughout the tournament, is now a two-time T20 World Cup champion, having lifted the trophy once before in 2007.
Rohit capped off his T20I career with a phenomenal performance, amassing 257 runs in eight matches at an impressive average and strike rate. His leadership and contribution with the bat further solidified his legacy as a T20 legend.
This win marks a bittersweet moment as Rohit announces his retirement from the T20I format. He leaves behind an incredible record, having scored 4,231 runs in 151 matches, making him the leading run-scorer in T20I history. With five centuries and 32 fifties, his impact on the format is undeniable.
Congratulations to Rohit Sharma and the entire Indian team on this historic win!
