MUMBAI, JULY 4 : Police have made elaborate security arrangements for the road show of the T20 World Cup-winning Indian cricket team on Thursday evening in Mumbai where a large number of fans are expected to gather to watch the procession, an official said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The victorious team, which returned to the country on Thursday morning, will take part in an open bus road show followed by a felicitation ceremony at the Wankhede Stadium in south Mumbai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The victory procession will be held between 5 and 7 pm from Nariman Point to the Wankhede Stadium, the official said on Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As a large number of people are expected to gather for the event, police are taking utmost precaution to avoid any untoward incident, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Adequate security is being deployed at the Marine Drive between Nariman Point and Wankhede Stadium, the official said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The T20 World Cup-winning Indian cricket team arrived in New Delhi from Barbados on Thursday aboard a specially arranged charter flight with scores of fans lining up outside the airport in the national capital to welcome the players despite a steady drizzle and heavy security deployment that kept them at a distance from their heroes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The departure of the Indian squad from Barbados was delayed due to Hurricane Beryl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“The team will meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi at 11 am at his residence. After this, the team will fly to Mumbai, where a ceremony has been organised,” BCCI vice-president Rajeev Shukla told PTI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“There will be a road show from Nariman Point in an open bus and later we will honour and felicitate the players with the prize money of Rs 125 crore as announced,” he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The squad on Saturday won the country its second T20 world title, ending an 11-year wait for an ICC trophy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
India’s previous ICC title was in 2013 when it won the Champions Trophy under Mahendra Singh Dhoni.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
