The Indian cricket team, captained by Rohit Sharma, quietly arrived back in India after clinching the prestigious Champions Trophy in Dubai. This marks their second major ICC victory within a span of nine months.
After the win against New Zealand and maintaining an unbeaten record throughout the tournament, players returned home, opting for rest rather than public celebrations. With the IPL season commencing on March 22, the cricketers will take a brief respite before joining their respective teams.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) refrained from organizing a public felicitation, though a similar honor occurred post their T20 World Cup win. As members regroup, Shreyas Iyer gears up to lead Punjab Kings from March 16.
