Finally after waiting for so many hours since T20 World Cup final, Team India is all ready to fly out of Barbados after facing unexpected delays due to Hurricane Beryl.

The team's journey home, initially hindered by the category 4 hurricane, is now back on track, marking the beginning of their celebratory return to India. The flight to take the Men in Blue has finally arrived in Barbados.

According to reporter Abhishek Tripathi from Dainik Jagran, "Air India's Boeing 777 has landed in Barbados. The employee working here said that this is the first time I have seen such a big plane landing here. The Indian team will leave for India in this plane," the reporter posted on 'X'.

The Barbados Prime Minister, Mia Mottley, played a crucial role in facilitating the team's departure. She announced that the airport was expected to become operational within six to 12 hours, effectively ending the hurricane-induced shutdown.

The Indian contingent, comprising the T20 World Cup-winning squad, support staff, BCCI officials, and players' families, is expected to land in Delhi on Wednesday at 7:45 pm IST. Their arrival will mark the beginning of grand celebrations across the nation, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi planning to felicitate the team, though the exact schedule is yet to be finalized.

Interestingly, the hurricane has also affected the plans of five players, Rinku Singh, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shivam Dube, Khaleel Ahmed, and Sanju Samson, who were originally slated to travel to Zimbabwe for an upcoming five-match T20I series. Now, Samson, Dube, and Jaiswal will first return to India with the World Cup squad before departing for Harare.
