Cummins and many members of the winning squad arrived home on Wednesday morning, but the lack of fanfare for the ODI world champions perplexed social media.
Video clips of World Cup winning Australian players arriving at airport amidst little to no fanfare went viral on social media. This made fans wonder why Australian cricketers didn't receive the heroes' welcome they deserved.

Cummins, upon his arrival, reflected on the spectacular achievement and said that the excitement of becoming ODI world champions hasn't yet fully sunk in.
