Newly-crowned T20 World Cup champions Team India have arrived at Mumbai for the much-anticipated victory parade announced by Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) Secretary Jay Shah. A handful of videos have surfaced on social media as massive security measures have been deployed for the big occasion in Mumbai.
With the Men in Blue winning the T20 World Cup on June 29th at the Kensington Oval in Barbados, their departure to India was delayed as a hurricane hit the Island. Hence, the entire contingent had to stay there for 3 more days. Nevertheless, the BCCI has arranged a special flight for them, which left on Wednesday.

"I wanted this badly. It's very hard to put it in words because that moment, I don't want to say what I was thinking and what was going in my mind, but it was a very emotional moment personally for me. I wish I could capture that moment myself but not really, you can't do that but I will always remember that."
In the process, Team India also became the first side to lift the T20 World Cup trophy without losing a game.
