It has been 4 days since the Indian cricket team lifted the T20 World Cup (WC) at the Kensington Oval in Barbados and it still feels surreal. It has been 4 days since we witnessed our Men In Blue winning an ICC trophy after 11 years, an ICC World Cup after 13 years, and the T20 WC after 17 years. Our boys are returning after weeks of playing spectacular cricket with the biggest highlight, the glorious World Cup!

Shakespeare rightly wrote “All’s Well That Ends Well” as Indian cricket fans could not have imagined a better end to the drought of lifting an ICC trophy. As a cricket fanatic, the only song playing in my background is “I’m coming home. I’m coming home. Tell the world I’m coming home” after seeing our nation’s pride carrying the trophy and flying back to India.
According to a report by The Financial Express, the team is returning on a special Air India flight. According to the local time, the plane is scheduled to take off at 4:30 AM. After a long journey, the champions are expected to land in Delhi at 6 AM (IST) tomorrow.

The Indian T20 WC team was supposed to return home on Sunday. However, the travel plans were postponed because of the hurricane Beryl. The Men in Blue had to extend their stays for the next few days due to the change in weather. Later, the Board of Control for Cricket in India arranged the flight for the cricketers and their families who headed there for the momentous tournament, according to a report by NDTV Sports.
