VIRAT KOHLI SHOWS HURRICANE BERYL TO FAMILY FROM BARBADOS HOTEL – WATCH VIRAL VIDEO

New Delhi: Virat Kohli showed Hurricane Beryl in the Caribbean to his family through a video call, the video of which went viral on social media. Following India's T20 World Cup 2024 triumph on Saturday night, the whole contingent is stranded in Barbados, which has been under lockdown since Sunday.

In the video, Kohli was seen in 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.

The squad, along with top BCCI officials including Jay Shah, was supposed to leave for India via a charter flight on Monday but it was not possible due to the closure of the airport. The BCCI is also trying to get the travelling Indian media out of the hurricane-hit region.

According to latest reports, the Indian team is set to fly back home in a charter flight on Tuesday evening and arrive in India on Wednesday at 7.45 PM (IST). The players will later be felicitated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi.
