Team India Arrival Live Updates: Looking back at India's World Cup triumphs
Team India Arrival Live Updates: India now have two titles each in the ODI and T20I World Cups. The first was in 1983 when Kapil Dev's team, considered rank outsiders before the tournament, stunned the world-beating West Indies in the final to win their first-ever World Cup title. The second ODI World Cup title came nearly three decades later in 2011 when MS Dhoni led India to victory against Sri Lanka in the final at the Wankhede Stadium. Before that came the victory in the 2007 T20 World Cup in what was Dhoni's first ever assignment as India captain in any format. 17 years later, Rohit Sharma's men have claimed the country's second T20 World Cup victory.
Team India Arrival Live Updates: AB de Villiers' emphatic praise for Hardik Pandya
Team India Arrival Live Updates: He had to endure the sadness of seeing his beloved South Africa lose in the final but Proteas legend AB de Villiers was all praise for the Indian players, particularly Hardik Pandya. "What stands out for me are the big moments. A guy like Hardik Pandya who's been through a roller-coaster himself with Mumbai Indians – moving from Gujarat to Mumbai – and all the criticism he coped with, getting the ball from the captain in the final of the T20 World Cup. That was his moment to go like, 'You know what… all Indian fans out there, this is what I am about as a cricket player'," De Villiers said on his YouTube channel.
"He made everyone proud out there. Even though I did not want him to succeed like that, I look back and have a lot of respect for that. He is a big man for a big moment and that's exactly the way he played. To all you Mumbai Indians fans out there who doubted him, I'm pretty sure he has secured a spot in your hearts for the future."

Team India Arrival Live Updates: Two stars on the jersey now
Team India Arrival Live Updates: There is one more important difference between the jerseys that the team wore at the 2024 T20 World Cup and the one they are wearing today. There are two stars above the BCCI logo, as opposed to the one that has been there since 2007. It has taken 17 years for that star count to double. Regardless of what changes happen to the jersey from here on, those two stars will stay constant and can only be added on.
