Stranded Champs: Indian Cricket Team Delayed by Hurricane in Caribbean

The Indian cricket team's return from the Caribbean has been delayed due to Hurricane Beryl. An Air India charter flight is set to bring the team back to Delhi after winning the T20 World Cup. The flight is expected to take off from Barbados and reach Delhi on Thursday morning.

The Indian cricket team's victorious return from the Caribbean has hit a snag, as Hurricane Beryl has delayed their departure. The Air India charter, named AIC24WC, remains grounded while the team, along with support staff, players' families, and media, are stranded.

Led by Rohit Sharma, the team celebrated a seven-run triumph over South Africa in the T20 World Cup final, earning them the awaited flight home. Originally scheduled for a July 2 departure, the flight will now leave from Barbados at 4:30 am local time, arriving in Delhi on Thursday morning, pending any further delays.

The Grantley Adams International Airport resumed operations, allowing the flight from New Jersey to land around 2 am. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to felicitate the team, although details are still in the works. Hurricane Beryl, now a Category 4 storm, poses ongoing challenges as it moves towards Jamaica.
