Royal welcome awaits Team India

The victorious Indian team leaves airport in a bus for the hotel. Virender Sehwag leaves earlier in a personal vehicle. I was expecting a grand welcome just like the Twenty20 World Cup. Doesn’t matter, I am not in India to receive the victorious team but can atleast watch the coverage on NDTV 24×7 - my only source of India-centric news.

The battle has been won and the warriors are back.

NDTV got exclusive access to the Indian cricket team on their flight from Melbourne to Mumbai. NDTV 24×7 is a boon for Indias living in the US.

The exhausted players were catching up on some much needed sleep, after a grueling 84-day tour Down Under.

The Indian team was accorded little chance of winning the Commonwealth Bank Series. Australia was the bookies’ favourite for winning in the second final in Brisbane.

The new-age Indian team proved most pundits wrong, wrapping-up the series with a comfortable 2-0.

A lot of credit has rightfully gone to Captain M S Dhoni, considering his fearless team selection and the immense faith he displayed in the young side.

NDTV 24×7 is a must for Indians residing in the US. The incisive news channel is available in the US only through DirecTV. For more information visit the Squidoo Lens.
