Team India's 2024 T20 World Cup-winning squad has left from Barbados via an Air India flight arranged by BCCI secretary Jay Shah. The flight duration from Barbados to Delhi is around 16 hours. If things go as per schedule, the Indian team will land in Delhi on Thursday, July 4, in the morning around 6:00 AM IST.

The Men in Blue won the 2024 T20 World Cup by defeating South Africa by seven runs in the final at the Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados on Saturday, June 29 - their first ICC title triumph since 2013. However, the members of the team, the support staff, some BCCI officials, and even the Indian media covering the event had been stuck in Barbados for the last couple of days due to Hurricane Beryl.

According to a report in the Times of India, an Air India aircraft with call sign AIC24WC is bringing the T20 World Cup heroes back home. The special flight is said to have taken off at 4:30 am Barbados time [2:00 PM IST].

Earlier, Team India members were scheduled to depart from Barbados at 6:00 PM local time on July 2 and arrive in New Delhi at 7:45 pm (IST) on Wednesday. However, things did not go according to play due to the weather.
