Bangalore, March 4: A grand reception will be accorded to the Indian team at New Delhi on March 6 to celebrate their first-ever cricket tri-series victory in Australia, BCCI President Sharad Pawar said in Bangalore on Tuesday.

The team will arrive in Mumbai and will later be flown to New Delhi, he told reporters during an informal interaction.

Defeating Australia on its home turf was a “fitting reply”. The future of Indian team appears to be bright, Pawar added.

Lauding the team spirit of the Indian players, he said despite the fact that ace batsman Sachin Tendulkar has been hit with a ball, there had been no complaints from his side.

The team had displayed great sportsman spirit, he said.

Vijay Mallya (Chairman Kingfisher Airlines and BCCI Marketing Committee member), who was also present described the victory as a “great day for India."

Beamer thrown by Lee by Rave on 05 Mar 2008

Well done INDIAN TEAM . Also we are proud of BCCI for supporting its players.Yes Sachin should have complained about the beamer thrown at him by Lee. It could be intentional as Sachin was reaching his 100 and Lee does throw such balls quite often. It could be to injure Sachin.

Indians should show some restraint by Prakash Raje on 05 Mar 2008

We shouldn't over-react by showering crores of rupees on the cricket players. Yes! All the players deserve a credit and we should appreciate their team work. But, this is a sport and the players are paid handsomely to do their job. We shouldn't go overboard.
