India won the T20 World Cup trophy by defeating South Africa on June 29. Since then, Indian fans are eager to welcome their champion team. But the storm Beryl in Barbados made the wait for the Indian team to return home longer. Due to this, the Indian cricket team remained stuck in Barbados since becoming the world champion. The players confined in a hotel remained connected with their families and fans through social media. The champion players shared a lot of pictures and videos on social media of winning the T20 World Cup.
India has won the T20 World Cup for the second time. The Indian team had earlier won the T20 World Cup trophy in 2007 under the captaincy of MS Dhoni. This was also the first edition of the T20 World Cup. After this, India had to wait a long time for its second trophy. The Indian team, led by Rohit Sharma, finally ended this wait on 29 June 2024.
