According to the latest report from the National Hurricane Center of the United States, Beryl, which was upgraded to a Category 4 hurricane on Monday, has further intensified into a Category 5 storm after making landfall in the Windward Islands as it churned towards Jamaica.
The hurricane was initially upgraded to a Category 4 on Monday, bringing with it life-threatening winds and storm conditions that lashed Barbados and nearby islands. The team’s safe return has become a priority amidst these challenging circumstances.
Despite the delayed arrival amid the adversities posed by the hurricane, India is ready to welcome the Indian cricket team as their achievement in winning the T20 World Cup remains a source of immense pride for the nation.
Their resilience and determination on the field have been matched by their patience and adaptability in the face of unforeseen circumstances off the field. That said, the nation eagerly awaits their arrival, ready to honour their remarkable accomplishment and welcome them with open arms.
