Team India Victory Parade: Team India was given a grand welcome in Mumbai on Thursday evening. The team reached Marine Drive by bus, where a crowd of thousands was already present to welcome the world champion Indian team. All the Indian players started the victory parade from Nariman Point sitting in an open bus and the players and support staff also welcomed the applause of the fans. Meanwhile, Virat Kohli credited Jasprit Bumrah for India's historic victory. At the same time, Rohit Sharma described the meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi as memorable. The entire program ended when BCCI President Roger Binny and Secretary Jay Shah handed over a cheque of Rs 125 crore to Team India.
Who said what?
Rohit Sharma- This trophy is not for us but for all the countrymen. It was a great honour to meet PM Modi in the morning and he is very passionate about sports. When David Miller hit a shot on Hardik Pandya's ball, I thought it would go for a six due to the wind, but it was all written in fate. Suryakumar Yadav's catch at the end was unbelievable. I am proud of this entire team.

Virat Kohli - Rohit Sharma and I have been trying to achieve this feat for a long time. Our dream was always to win the World Cup. We have been playing together for the last 15 years and this is probably the first time I have seen Rohit so emotional. He was crying, I was crying, we both hugged each other and we will never forget this day. A bowler like Jasprit Bumrah is not born every day and he is the eighth wonder of the world.

Rahul Dravid - I will miss this love of the people a lot. I will never forget the scene I saw on the streets today.

Jasprit Bumrah - Whatever I saw today, I have never seen it before. Now I have no desire to retire. My retirement is still far away, this is just the beginning.

Team India was given a warm welcome at Marine Drive

When Team India reached Marine Drive from Mumbai Airport, anyone would have been surprised to see the crowd. The view from the road to Wankhede Stadium was as if there was a sea of water on one side and a row of fences on the land on the other side. Thousands of people gathered at Marine Drive. Team India boarded a blue open bus passing through this crowd and accepted the greetings of all its fans. Rohit Sharma's family also reached Wankhede Stadium to see this program.
