India's Champions Trophy-winning squad returned home from Dubai, with players heading to different destinations.

Head coach Gautam Gambhir arrived in New Delhi around 7 PM on Monday, welcomed by officials before heading to his destination. Meanwhile, captain Rohit Sharma landed in Mumbai at 8 PM, accompanied by his wife, who had been in Dubai to support him during the final.

The rest of the players also left Dubai, some heading home while others chose to take short vacations before beginning preparations for the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season.

India created history by becoming the first team to win three Champions Trophy titles, defeating New Zealand by four wickets in the final at the Dubai International Stadium on Sunday.

Unlike past victories, there was no grand celebration awaiting the team upon arrival. Instead, the players will soon join their respective IPL franchises, as the tournament is set to begin on March 22. Some teams, such as Mumbai Indians, featuring Rohit Sharma and Hardik Pandya have already started training at the Wankhede Stadium. Sunrisers Hyderabad, which includes Mohammed Shami, began their pre-season camp earlier this month.

Ravindra Jadeja and Varun Chakravarthy both reached Chennai on Tuesday morning. The former is set to join the CSK camp while Chakravarthy may spend a few days at home before joining the KKR camp in Kolkata.

Where is Virat Kohli?

Although the other Indian members have mostly arrived in the country, Virat Kohli is yet to arrive. As per a report from PTI, Kohli left the team hotel on Sunday night itself after the Champions Trophy victory. Most of the players will get a week off and it is likely that the star India player will spend time with his family outside India.

Kohli was accompanied by his wife Anushka Sharma in Dubai and it is likely that he may be spending a few days with family before joining the Royal Challengers Bengaluru camp. RCB are set to commence their IPL 2025 campaign against Kolkata Knight Riders on March 22.
