A sea of blue filled the streets of Mumbai in anticipation of welcoming the Indian team after their victory in Barbados. The Men in Blue landed at Delhi airport around 6 AM this morning and proceeded to visit Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Following the visit, the squad headed to Mumbai for a grand victory parade from the iconic Marine Drive to the Wankhede Stadium.
The excitement for the victory parade had already gripped Mumbaikars even before the Indian team boarded their flight to Mumbai.
Large crowds gathered at various railway stations, making their way to Marine Drive. Despite heavy police deployment to manage the masses, the enthusiasm was undeterred.
