Indian cricket fans will need to exercise patience as their T20 World Cup-winning heroes face travel delays due to Hurricane Beryl. Initially scheduled to fly from New York via Dubai, the Rohit Sharma-led squad will instead take a charter flight directly to Delhi amid growing travel concerns.

Hurricane Beryl, intensifying with winds up to 210 kmph, has positioned itself 570km east-southeast of Barbados, prompting the closure of Bridgetown airport. The Indian team comprised 70 members, including support staff and families.

The cricket squad's return follows their triumphant victory against South Africa by seven runs, clinching the T20 World Cup title for the second time since 2007, with Virat Kohli's standout 59-ball 76 performance.
