Led by Captain Rohit Sharma, the team was welcomed with spirited dhol beats and energetic bhangra performances. The celebration continued with a lavish feast, featuring Virat Kohli's favourite Chola Bhatura, and a specially crafted cake adorned with team pictures and the vibrant colours of the Indian jersey.

The head chef at the ITC Maurya Hotel expressed his pride in preparing a culinary experience fit for the champions, showcasing the appreciation and admiration they have for the team. Fans, unable to contain their excitement, cheered and applauded as Team India arrived at the hotel, basking in the glory of their recent victory.
