New Delhi. It has been more than three days since the Indian cricket team won the T20 World Cup but it has not been able to return home. Hurricane Beryl has kept our champions stranded in Barbados. Perhaps stranded is not the right word. This storm has imprisoned the Indian team. The champions have spent more than 80 hours in a hotel with the desire to meet their loved ones. The eyes of the fans who were waiting eagerly to welcome the team have also started to turn stone. The wait seems to never end. Amidst this long wait, there is a good news that if everything goes well, the Indian team will return home today on Wednesday.
The Indian team won the T20 World Cup on 29 June at around 11.50 pm. By defeating the Chokers (South Africa). After the victory, the Indian team and fans drowned in celebration while the South Africans started drowning in the ocean of sorrow. People say that prayers do pay off. And they did. India became the champion. But after this, such a storm came out of the ocean that it does not calm down. A day passed. Two days passed. The third day came and went. Beryl does not seem to be getting derailed. Even though the blessings of Lord Indra are showering sporadically in India, but the people of Barbados are repeatedly crying for help, the government should spare them till now.
The comforting thing is that the winds in Barbados have started to slow down. The rain has started to stop. With this, the Indian cricket team and fans can also take a sigh of relief. News is coming from Barbados that the Indian team is going to leave on Tuesday (Wednesday in India). The statement of the Prime Minister of Barbados in this regard had come a day earlier.
Indian cricketers and the media persons travelling with them are also constantly giving updates. One such update has been given by Sanjana Ganesan. Jasprit Bumrah’s wife Sanjana has shared an Instagram story, in which the scenes of the storm in Barbados can also be seen.
