Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Team India’s Delhi Arrival From Barbados Delayed Further After T20 WC 2024 Win
The charter flight has been cancelled due to the weather condition. We cannot confirm when will the team depart from Barbados.
Barbados: Looks like the wait is going to continue. The victorious Indian cricket team was supposed to board a private charter plane during the wee hours of Tuesday and would be in Delhi by the evening on Wednesday – but that is not going to happen. The charter flight has been cancelled due to the weather condition. We cannot confirm when will the team depart from Barbados. Following India’s T20 WC 2024 triumph on Saturday night, the whole contingent is stranded in Barbados, which has been under lockdown since Sunday.
Here is the clip of the weather in Barbados.
Perhaps winning the World Cup was easier than getting back home after the triumph. By this time Team was supposed to take the chartered flight for Delhi but there has been further delay.

India’s premier batter Virat Kohli was spotted on a video call on one of the hotel’s open balconies as strong winds blew through the ocean in front. Meanwhile, the Category 4 hurricane hit the Caribbean islands in the wee hours of Monday, thus delaying its departure back home by at least another day.
The Rohit Sharma-led side has stayed put in a five-star hotel. As per the forecast, life-threatening winds and storm lashed Barbados and nearby islands on Monday. The main international airport is shut until further notice with water and electricity supply also getting disrupted.
