The flight departed from Barbados at 4:50 AM local time and is expected to land in New Delhi on Thursday at 6:20 AM IST.

The 1 km long open-top bus parade will start at 4 PM from the National Centre for Performing Arts in Nariman Point and end at the iconic Wankhede Stadium, following the same route as MS Dhoni's 2007 T20 World Cup-winning team.
