Following their victory at the T20 World Cup 2024, Team India found themselves stranded in Barbados due to a looming hurricane threat. Despite their triumph over South Africa in the final, the team’s departure was postponed as the airport was closed and all flights were canceled. Reports suggest that a charter flight will now bring them back to India on Thursday morning.
Prior to their return, Rohit Sharma’s wife, Ritika Sajdeh, shared distressing images of the hurricane’s impact on Barbados’ marine life.
On her Instagram story, Ritika shared pictures of a deceased fish and a turtle egg, illustrating the devastation caused by the hurricane.
Team India’s Flight Status:
An Air India special charter flight named AIC24WC — Air India Champions 24 World Cup — is scheduled to bring back the Indian team, support staff, players’ families, board officials, and Indian media who were stranded in Barbados for three days due to hurricane Beryl.
The flight departed from New Jersey, USA on July 2 and is expected to land in Barbados at 2 am local time.
According to the plan, the flight is set to depart from Barbados at 4:30 am local time and will take approximately 16 hours to reach Delhi. The team is expected to arrive on Thursday at 6 am (IST) if there are no further delays.
The Grantley Adams International airport resumed operations on Tuesday. Initially, the Indian team was supposed to leave on July 2 at 6 pm local time and arrive in India at 7:45 pm (IST) on Wednesday.
