More than 150 police and traffic personnel were deployed to manage security and traffic during the celebrations.
"It feels like a dream come true. I still can't sink it in. After so many years of heartbreak, I've finally returned home to Agra with the World Cup. I could never have imagined such a roadshow happening for me or any other player," said an overwhelmed Deepti.
"If we continue to work hard like this, we'll keep winning more trophies. Seeing all the kids here makes me feel that I've been able to inspire them," she added.
