During the felicitation ceremony, BCCI handed Team India Rs 125 crore, a prize money the board had already announced for the side after its T20 World Cup triumph.

The likes of Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Rahul Dravid and Jasprit Bumrah got a chance to get on the podium and express their emotions.

After the felicitation, the players of Indian cricket team walked towards the fans and handed them signed balls before walking out of the ground. Some lucky fans also got selfies with players and their autographs as well.

Earlier, a T20 World Cup victory parade of Rohit Sharma and co. kicked off at Marine Drive and concluded at the Wankhde Stadium, crossing a sea of fans who had gathered to celebrate the team's success.
