Days after winning the 2024 T20 World Cup, the Indian cricket team finally arrived in Delhi on Thursday. They had been stuck in Barbados after their final match against South Africa due to Hurricane Beryl, which caused severe damage in the Caribbean.
There are many videos showing the team’s grand welcome, but one that stands out is captain Rohit Sharma dancing to bhangra music. The clip starts with Sharma, wearing his winner’s medal, carrying his suitcase, and dancing with the performers.
