After conquering the world in the Twenty20 tournament just concluded at South Africa, Mahendra Singh Dhoni and his boys have reached India on 26 September 2007.
They were awarded a hero's welcome.
From the airport the team went taken to Wankade Stadium for a felicitation ceremony organized in their honour. They travelled the route in an open bus, waving out to the thousands of fans who lined the streets to greet them.
Traffic jams and rains failed to douse any of the enthusiasm of either the fans or the cricketers.
At the stadium, however, the politicians tried to hog the show. BCCI big guns and Maharashtra politicos sat in the front row on the stage. Captain Dhoni was the only one to get a seat in the front row.
The politicians were immediately taken by the press for trying to shine in the light of the cricketers achievements.
The team prepares for the forthcoming games against the Australians which will be played in India.
