Hurricane Beryl Throws a Curveball: Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Other Indian Players Stranded in Barbados

Barbados, July 9, 2023: The Indian cricket team’s Caribbean tour just got a whole lot more interesting – and a whole lot wetter. Hurricane Beryl, the first hurricane of the 2023 Atlantic season, has made landfall in Barbados, forcing the team to remain indoors and delaying their upcoming matches.

The news of the storm broke just as the Indian team was gearing up for the second ODI against the West Indies in Bridgetown. While the players were initially scheduled to train at Kensington Oval, the impending hurricane forced the team management to call off the practice session.

What’s the impact on the Indian team?

With Hurricane Beryl making landfall, the fate of the second ODI hangs in the balance. The match was originally scheduled for July 11th, but heavy rains and strong winds could potentially disrupt the game. The situation is being closely monitored by the International Cricket Council (ICC) and Cricket West Indies (CWI).

How are the Indian players dealing with the storm?

While the exact situation remains unclear, the Indian team is likely hunkering down in their hotel rooms, hoping for the storm to pass quickly. With no training sessions planned and the possibility of delays to their matches, the players might be using the time to relax, catch up on some reading, or practice their indoor cricket skills.

What does the weather forecast say?

According to the Barbados Meteorological Services, Hurricane Beryl is currently a Category 1 hurricane. While the storm is expected to weaken as it moves away from Barbados, it’s still expected to bring heavy rain, strong winds, and rough seas to the island. The impact on the Indian team’s remaining matches in the Caribbean will depend on the hurricane’s trajectory and the extent of the damage caused.

The bottom line?

Hurricane Beryl has thrown a major curveball at the Indian cricket team. While the players are safe and sound, their upcoming matches are now up in the air. The situation is constantly evolving, and we will keep you updated on the latest developments.
