Upon their arrival in India to participate in the ICC World Cup, the members of the national cricket team received a warm and enthusiastic welcome from their fans at the airport.
Videos posted on the social networking site Twitter (X) showcase the national team players being greeted with great enthusiasm by fans at the airport. Moreover, thousands of eager fans gathered outside the team’s hotel in hopes of catching a glimpse of their favorite cricketers.
At the airport, Indian officials extended a warm welcome to the national cricketers, presenting them with shawls and showering them with flowers as a gesture of hospitality.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) shared a video on X, where fans can be seen attempting to get the attention of the Pakistani team players.
Meanwhile, the team’s captain, Babar Azam, acknowledged the reception by shaking hands with fans. In another video, Shaheen Afridi can be seen engaging in a conversation with the security personnel in charge, which has quickly gained popularity on social media.
It’s worth noting that this visit marks the national team’s return to India after a gap of seven years. The last time the Pakistan cricket team visited India was in 2016, under the leadership of Shahid Afridi, for the T20 World Cup.
