Jasprit Bumrah said - Wankhede is special for me

This ground is very special for me, I started my IPL career from this ground at the age of 19. Today I felt very happy to see the enthusiasm of the fans here. The target of all of us is to take Indian cricket forward. We had not won the World Cup together before, we won it now. I don't cry after a cricket match, but after that win I felt tears coming out of my eyes 2-3 times.

Virat Kohli said- Bumrah is fantastic

First of all, thanks to all the spectators who reached the stadium and on the streets. As you all were thinking, we also felt that at one time the game would go out of our hands. But we made a comeback in the last overs and won the final.

When Rohit was on the stairs, there were tears in my and his eyes. This was the first time I saw him being so emotional. When we won the World Cup in 2011, all the senior players were emotional, I did not know why they were crying so much. Today when I won the trophy after so much waiting, I came to know why he was so emotional.

I will be the first person to sign a contract to make Jasprit Bumrah the 8th wonder. His bowling is fantastic, the way he bowled made the biggest difference in winning this trophy.

Dravid said- Rohit kept me going

I will miss the love of the entire team ever since we landed in India. I will miss the kind of support you all gave me. Rohit's call was the best call of my life. He asked me to continue coaching.

Rohit said- Surya's catch was the most important

In the last over, I was standing at long on, then Suryakumar was at long off. Hardik was bowling the most important over for us. As soon as Miller played the shot, I got scared, but as soon as Surya caught the catch, I understood that the match was ours. Because from where I was standing, I could see that this catch was clean and Miller was out. Captain Rohit Sharma with the World Cup trophy.

Rohit said- The trophy is for every Indian who wanted to win

I am very happy to win the trophy. Winning every match of the World Cup was very important for me. In the first World Cup, we told the world that we can win the World Cup. After that we won the World Cup again, which was very important. After that, winning the Champions Trophy was also special. This shows that the fans wanted the win more than the players. This is a special team and I am lucky that I am leading it and could fulfill the dream of every Indian.

I also welcome the world champion Indian team: Devendra Fadnavis

Today, Team India has arrived in Mumbai. Team India was welcomed with great enthusiasm. I also welcome the world champion Indian team, a large number of people have joined in welcoming them, we had asked the police to make extensive arrangements. We are constantly in touch with the police administration. Today's welcome has been from the public, tomorrow they will also be welcomed by the Legislative Assembly.
