The squad members, support staff, their families and media were stuck in Barbados, which was hit by Hurricane Beryl, at that stage a category four hurricane that passed through Barbados, with Grantley Adams International Airport in Bridgetown shut for three days.
The flight was organised by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) secretary Jay Shah and departed on July 2 before arriving in Delhi at around 6:00 AM on Thursday morning. Board officials and members of the media contingent from the tournament were also on the flight.
The moment Indian players landed at their airports, they were welcomed amid loud cheers by fans, who shouted ‘India India’ at the top of their lungs while some also shouted the names of their favourite players on seeing them. Men in Blue also acknowledged their fans’ support, waving at them after sitting inside the team bus which is going to ITC Maurya hotel, where the team will stay.
