The four Mumbai players from the victorious T20 World Cup cricket team will also be felicitated in the Maharashtra Vidhan Bhavan complex.

India's 2024 T20 World Cup win ended an 11-year wait for an ICC title, marking the country's first World Cup triumph since the 2011 ODI World Cup, whose final was held in Mumbai, Maharashtra.

On Thursday, the Indian team celebrated its World Cup win with an open-top bus parade on Marine Drive, drawing large crowds. Following the one-kilometer-long roadshow, Team India was felicitated by the BCCI at the packed Wankhede Stadium.

During the ceremony, India captain Rohit dedicated the World Cup trophy to the "entire nation" and praised the Mumbai crowd for their support.
