Read our privacy policy The Indian men’s cricket team arrived to a colourful welcome in capital Delhi on Thursday after being stranded in Barbados due to the Hurricane Beryl. Led by Indian skipper Rohit Sharma, the men’s team on Sunday won the T20 World Cup against South Africa in a nail-biter that broke a 12-year unsuccessful streak. Captain Rohit Sharma held up the World Cup trophy after arriving at the New Delhi International Airport as supporters waved the Indian national flag and chanted the country’s name. This is the Indian men’s cricket team’s fourth World Cup win – bagging the ODI trophies in 1983 and 2011 and the T20 World Cups in 2007 and 2024.
