The champion Indian squad has been waiting a long time to return home after winning the T20 World Cup in the Caribbean and the United States. The climax occurred last Saturday, June 29, but storm Beryl has since imposed a lockdown-like situation in Barbados and other Caribbean regions.
As a result, travel was halted, airports were closed, and flights were non-operating. However, the team managed to secure an Air India charter in Barbados on Tuesday, July 2 (local time), thanks to the cooperation of the BCCI, Indian authorities, Barbados Prime Minister Mia Mottley, and others.
The Men in Blue, along with their families, a few Indian journalists, and BCCI administrators, including secretary Jay Shah, arrived in Delhi early on Thursday, July 4.
