Victorious Dhoni brigade returns home

India's victorious cricketers returned home in batches in different cities in the wee hours on Thursday after their historic Test series triumph in New Zealand. While charismatic skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni, man-of-the-series Gautam Gambhir, opener Virender Sehwag, pacer Ishant Sharma and spinner Amit Mishra landed at the capital's Indira Gandhi International Airport, Sachin Tendulkar and four others - Zaheer Khan, Harbhajan Singh, Munaf Patel and Dhawal Kulkarni - returned to a tumultous welcome in Mumbai.
