NEW DELHI: The T20 World Cup-winning
Indian cricket
team, having achieved a remarkable victory, is set to embark on their journey back home from
Barbados
on Tuesday evening (local time). Their arrival in Delhi is anticipated on Wednesday evening (IST), according to sources contacted by IANS.
Initially scheduled to depart from Barbados on Monday at 11 AM local time (8:30 PM IST), the team's travel plans were disrupted due to the presence of
Hurricane Beryl
.
This powerful storm resulted in the closure of airports and businesses, stranding the team in Barbados for the past two days.
The situation has escalated as Hurricane Beryl has intensified into an extremely dangerous Category 4 storm in recent hours. Warnings have been issued regarding life-threatening winds and the potential for a dangerous storm surge.
According to the latest report from the National Hurricane Center of the United States, Beryl, which was upgraded to a Category 4 hurricane on Monday, has further intensified into a Category 5 storm after making landfall in the Windward Islands as it churned towards Jamaica.
The hurricane was initially upgraded to a Category 4 on Monday, bringing with it life-threatening winds and storm conditions that lashed Barbados and nearby islands. The team's safe return has become a priority amidst these challenging circumstances.
Despite the delayed arrival amid the adversities posed by the hurricane, India is ready to welcome the Indian cricket team as their achievement in winning the
T20 World Cup
remains a source of immense pride for the nation.
Their resilience and determination on the field have been matched by their patience and adaptability in the face of unforeseen circumstances off the field. That said, the nation eagerly awaits their arrival, ready to honour their remarkable accomplishment and welcome them with open arms.
