T20 WC squad's Mumbai players to be felicitated in Vidhan Bhavan

Mumbai: Four Mumbai players of the T20 World Cup cricket team will be felicitated in the Maharashtra Vidhan Bhavan complex on Friday, state assembly speaker Rahul Narwekar said in the House on Thursday.

Suryakumar Yadav, Rohit Sharma, Shivam Dube and Yashasvi Jaiswal, all from Mumbai, were part of India's T20 World Cup squad.

On June 29, the Indian cricket team won the country its second T20 world title, ending an 11-year wait for an ICC trophy.

India's previous ICC title was in 2013 when it won the Champions Trophy under Mahendra Singh Dhoni.

Shiv Sena MLA Pratap Sarnaik on Thursday raised the issue in the assembly of players from Mumbai being felicitated in the Vidhan Bhavan earlier.

Speaker Narwekar said the felicitation of players from the city will take place in the Vidhan Bhavan on Friday afternoon.

The T20 World Cup-winning Indian team returned to New Delhi from Barbados on Thursday morning to a euphoric reception.
