The T20 World Cup-winning Indian cricket team, led by skipper Rohit Sharma, has arrived at the Prime Minister's residence at Lok Kalyan Marg for a meeting with Narendra Modi.
The meeting is slated to happen anytime soon, according to sources. The Indian contingent is reportedly clad in a blue special jersey with 'Champions' written in the front.
Earlier the day, Union Sports Minister Mansukh Mandaviya welcomed the champions on X. "A hearty welcome to our T20 World Cup winning Indian team, who hoisted the tricolour on the soil of Barbados. The whole country is eager to welcome you."
The squad is expected to leave for Mumbai at 4 pm, for the two-hour-long bus parade tat will start from the National Centre for Performing Arts (NCPA). The parade will start approximately at 5:00 pm from the NCPA, near the famous Nariman Point, and will go on for about two hours before they reach the Wankhede Stadium. A felicitation event to honour the players and the squad members has been scheduled between 7:00 pm to 7:30 pm, after which the players will leave for their hotel.
