So let's celebrate this win with a victory parade at Marine Drive & Wankhede on July 4, 2024, from 5:00 pm onwards. It's coming home ❤️🏆"

"It's a good feeling. After a long time, India won the World Cup and after winning the World Cup, they are going to be welcomed at the land of Cricket, Mumbai. Not only in Mumbai but Cricket is a religion in the entire India," said MCA member Jitendra Awhad on Team India's arrival.
