Moments of a victory parade still might be afresh in the minds of the Indian cricket fans which happened back in 2007. MS Dhoni's Team India after winning their first World T20 Championship marched towards the Wankhede with a sea of blue behind them. Team India's return to the subcontinent was halted by hurricane Beryl which made landfall in Barbados on the midnight of July 30, 2024. Not only the Indian team, but their families and Indian journalists too couldn't make their exit from the island nation.
