The crowd kept shouting his name until the point he reached his car and left from the airport. He did wave back at them to acknowledge their support while the yellow barricades were put in between to prevent fans from proximity near the player.
Even coach Gambhir arrived home with a bunch of supporters cheering his name and reporters thronged around him. Gambhir was too wearing a black t-shirt.
