Mumbai, July 8 2009: A triumphant Indian cricket team today returned home from the West Indies
after winning its fifth consecutive one-day series.
The squad boarded a connecting flight from London, which landed at approximately 0100 hours at the
Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport.
Most of the players barring skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni, all-rounder Abhishek Nair and batsman Rohit
Sharma managed to avoid the media glare and sneaked through the backdoor.
The team won the first and third one-dayer, at Kingston and Gros Islet, to clinch the four match
series 2-1.
West Indies won the second ODI by eight wickets, while the fourth and final match of the series
was washed out.
The battle-weary team, which had a grueling last season, will enjoy a welcome two-month break
before heading off to Sri Lanka in September, where it will participate in a tri-series also involving
New Zealand.
