After winning the T20 World Cup, the Indian team has finally reached India. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) had arranged a special flight for the world champion team to bring Rohit Sharma's army and media personnel back home. Air India flight AIC24WC (Air India Champions 24 World Cup) reached India this morning.

After winning the final match, the Indian team was to return to India by a regular flight, but there were curfew conditions in Barbados due to the cyclone.
