A similar victory parade was held in 2007 when Mahendra Singh Dhoni led India to their maiden T20 title. However, now in 2024, Rohit Sharma & Co will be felicitated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi within hours of returning to the country.
When & Where is the Victory Parade?
For the curious, the victory parade is set to be hosted in Mumbai, Maharashtra, at 5 pm on July 4, 2024, according to the information shared by BCCI president Jay Shah on his official X/Twitter account.
The 2024 World Cup-winning team will head to the scenic Marine Drive and Wankhede Stadium. The open bus parade is likely to take place for 2 hours.
Since the parade will start from Nariman Point and will end at Wankhede, Marine Drive is likely to witness massive traffic congestion and in addition to this, the Churchgate area might also see increased vehicular queueing.
