India's Schedule After Landing: Meeting With PM Modi, Roadshow In Mumbai

The Indian men's cricket team, after winning the T20 World Cup in Barbados, will land in New Delhi during the early hours of Thursday, June 4. India beat South Africa in the final last week at the Kensington Oval to clinch a second T20 World Cup title, and first in 17 years. The Indian players and support staff members have been stuck in Barbados over the past few days due to a hurricane storm in the Caribbean islands. However, the entire contingent will return home on Thursday via a special flight arranged by the BCCI.

Air India's special charter flight named AIC24WC -- Air India Champions 24 World Cup -- took off at 4:50 am local time on Wednesday (local time), carrying the Indian players and support staff.

The special flight is expected to land in the national capital -- New Delhi -- on Thursday at around 6:20 am (IST). The flight was earlier scheduled to leave around 6pm local time on July 2 and arrive at 7.45pm (IST). However, the departure was delayed as Air India's aircraft landed late in Barbados.
