The Indian team’s journey to Mumbai from New Delhi began around 3:42 p.m. after an inspirational breakfast meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, following their victorious return from Barbados. At Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport, the team’s aircraft received a symbolic ‘Water Salute,’ and the players were met by a sea of fans and media, embodying the nation’s pride.
At Wankhede Stadium, thousands of fans filled the stands despite intermittent rain and extreme humidity, their spirits unyielding throughout the victory parade. Even without food or water arrangements, they remained jubilant, entertained by a DJ playing songs that resonated with national pride. The stadium reverberated with chanting and music, including the patriotic anthem “Chak De India” and the lively “To Brazil” by Vengaboys, making the victory parade a truly unforgettable celebration of India’s triumph.
The victory parade was a testament to the immense support and love for the Indian cricket team. The celebrations in Mumbai highlighted the nation’s unity and pride in their champions, showcasing the unifying power of cricket in India.
