Key players such as Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, and Shivam Dube were prominently visible at the front of the bus, waving to the enthusiastic crowd. The atmosphere was electric, with chants of victory and patriotism echoing through the streets. India's open-bus parade, celebrating their T20 World Cup victory, was initially scheduled to start at around 5 PM. However, due to a slight delay in the team's flight and the bustling activity at the airport, the parade commenced later than planned. Despite these setbacks, the event was a spectacular success.

Marine Drive was jam-packed with fans, creating an electric atmosphere as India's bus made its way slowly towards the Wankhede Stadium. The open-top bus, adorned with a photo of the Indian team celebrating their T20 World Cup triumph, became the centerpiece of the festivities. The bus met the players at the National Centre for the Performing Arts (NCPA) at Nariman Point. From there, the parade continued for 1.5 kilometers, culminating at the iconic Wankhede Stadium.

Following the parade, a grand felicitation event will be held at Wankhede Stadium, where fans and dignitaries will gather to honor the team's outstanding achievement. The celebration marks a momentous occasion in Indian cricket, bringing joy and pride to millions of supporters across the country.
