It is pertinent to mention that India on June 29 ended their 11-year global title drought as they beat South Africa by seven runs to become T20 World Cup 2024 Champions at Kensington Oval.
The Rohit Sharma-led side, who lost in the finals of the World Test Championship and the 50-overs home World Cup last year, managed to book South Africa at 169/8, defeating the Proteas by seven runs.
Meanwhile, the Indian team is set to arrive in Delhi on July 4, after a delay in their departure due to the Hurricane Beryl that forced the airport in the island nation to be shutdown on July 1.
The Rohit Sharma-led side was initially scheduled to arrive in the country on July 3, however, they are now expected to reach Delhi on July 4 in the morning.
Indian media outlets had reported that the team will fly directly to New Delhi to meet Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
