The touching reunion followed India’s historic 2024 T20 World Cup win on July 4.
After leading the team to victory, Rohit and the rest of the squad found themselves stuck in Barbados due to a cuclone. They finally landed in Delhi to a rousing reception as several cricket fanatics came to the airport in the wee hours to get a glimpse of the World Champions.
The celebratory atmosphere continued with a special breakfast meet hosted by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. After the meeting, the Men in Blue boarded a special flight to Mumbai for an open bus victory parade, where fans lined the streets to cheer for their heroes.
