As the Indian cricket team arrived in the national capital in the early hours of Thursday, even a light drizzle couldn't deter fans from gathering at the airport to welcome them.
There was dancing, there were multiple cakes, and there were fans on streets showing just why cricket is the most passionately followed sport in the country. The weary players joined in the fun after arriving at the hotel from airport to complete the party atmosphere.
Upon reaching the team hotel from the airport, Rohit Sharma and his teammates were greeted by a dance troupe at the entrance. The joy of winning the T20 World Cup was palpable, with Rohit himself joining in the dancing for a while.
