பெரில் சூறாவளி காரணமாக ரோஹித் சர்மாவின் டி20 உலகக் கோப்பை வெற்றியாளர்கள் பார்படாஸில் சிக்கித் தவிக்க வாய்ப்புள்ளது.

Currently partying in Barbados after winning the 2024 T20 World Cup, Rohit Sharma’s Indian Cricket Team could get stuck there indefinitely. Team India were supposed to leave on Monday, but due to Hurricane Beryl heading towards Barbados, they might be unable to return to India as planned. 

Hurricane Beryl heading India’s way

According to Team India’s schedule, they were supposed to leave for New York on Monday at 11 AM local time (8:30 PM IST). Then they are supposed to reach home via a connected flight from Dubai. In a public address, Barbadian Prime Minister Mia Mottley warned that the airport would close by nighttime on Sunday.

This means neither a plane can land nor leave Grantley Adams International Airport. Hearing what’s heading towards them, a special chartered flight has been arranged for the Indian team, which will take them from Barbados to New Delhi directly. Now, whether they can board that flight or not isn’t known, but if they indeed get stuck, they might get stuck in Barbados for 36 to 48 hours in inclement weather.

What’s even worse is that the hotel India’s staying at (the Hilton) is also situated near the ocean and could very likely come under the attack of the Grade 3 hurricane. Midnight on Sunday or early morning on Monday is when the hurricane is expected to arrive in Barbados. They are stuck on the island; they might need to relocate to a safer location and brace for the impact.
