Team India has finally arrived at their home after being victorious in the just-concluded T20 World Cup 2024 Final by defeating South Africa at the Kensington Oval. However, their arrival was delayed due to Hurricane Beryl hitting Barbados. BCCI arranged a special charter flight 'AIC24WC', which stands for AirIndia Champions24WorldCup that rescued and brought them back home. The celebrations are seemingly not coming to an end. After fulfilling all the required meetings in New Delhi, the Men in Blue side is headed to Mumbai for the next stage of celebration and the victory parade.
