After defeating South Africa on June 29th, Team India emerged as the T20 World Cup 2024 Champion. However, for three days, the team and journalists have been stranded in Barbados due to Hurricane Beryl. To ensure their safe return, BCCI Secretary Jay Shah has taken a commendable initiative. He arranged a special chartered flight to bring both the Indian players and journalists back home, demonstrating his dedication to their safety and well-being.
