Rohit made this request to the fans on social media Team India will take part in the Victory Parade in Mumbai on 4th July
New Delhi. Rohit and company are reaching Delhi on Thursday (July 4) early morning, four days after winning the T20 World Cup. The celebration phase will begin after Team India reaches home. The players are also very excited about this. After reaching New Delhi, the Indian team will have breakfast with Narendra Modi at the Prime Minister’s residence (PMO). Team India’s return to the country was delayed by four days due to being stuck in Beryl storm in Barbados. The BCCI sent a charter plane to Barbados to evacuate the players from there. The charter plane is carrying Indian players along with their families and team support staff, including BCCI officials and Indian media personnel. Team India will leave directly from Delhi for Mumbai where the victory parade will be held. On the occasion of this special event, Rohit has urged his fans to reach in maximum numbers and enjoy this special moment.
Rohit Sharma wrote a post on x.com, ‘We want to enjoy this special moment with all of you. So let’s celebrate this victory with a victory parade at Marine Drive and Wankhede on July 4 from 5:00 pm. The trophy is coming home.’ India defeated South Africa by 7 runs in the T20 World Cup 2024 final to become the world champion in T20 for the second time.
