Team India heads home in batches

Dhaka:

The victorious Indian cricket team, which whitewashed Bangladesh 2-0 in the just-concluded Test series, on Thursday left for home in batches.

After the trio of Sachin Tendulkar, Zaheer Khan and Yuvraj Singh headed for Mumbai at midnight, Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir, Ishant Sharma and Harbhajan Singh took an Air India flight to Delhi this morning.

The remaining team and the support staff will leave later in the afternoon.

Apart from beating Bangladesh in the Test series, the Indians finished runners-up at a tri-series, also featuring Sri Lanka besides the hosts, in nearly a month long tour.
