New Delhi, Mar 6: Members of the victorious Indian team arrived here to a tumultuous welcome by the crowd, who had started to throng the Ferozshah Kotla since morning. Addressing the crowd, skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni thanked all the people for their overwhelming support and described it as a team effort, which led to the team’s success Down Under.

Appreciating the contribution of his team members in the win, Dhoni said the players conducted themselves well during the tough tour.

"I thank all the fans for their support, which is a big motivation for us. I would also thank my team members without which it (winning the title) would not have been possible. They conducted themselves well both on and off the field.

"I hope we will continue to entertain you like this," he said.

Dhoni took the opportunity to congratulate the Under-19 cricketers who recently won the World Cup in Malaysia.

"I would like to congratulate the under-19 team for their achievement. They should enjoy their success," he said.
