Virat Kohli's Video Call to Anushka Sharma During Barbados Storm Goes Viral

In an unexpected turn of events, Indian cricket icon Virat Kohli was seen video calling his wife, Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma, amidst the ferocious storm that battered Barbados. This incident unfolded as the Indian cricket team found themselves stranded in the Caribbean island following their victorious campaign in the T20 World Cup 2024.

The video, which has since gone viral on social media platforms, depicts Kohli amidst the tempest of the Beryl storm. The footage captures the cricketer vividly illustrating the storm's wrath to Anushka, providing a striking image of the adverse conditions the team is enduring. The victorious Indian squad, after securing the T20 World Cup title on June 29, remains marooned in Barbados due to the severe weather conditions that followed.

Initially, the team had planned to depart Barbados on the night of June 30 or July 1, contingent on the reserve day for their final match scheduled for June 29. However, the onset of the Beryl storm rendered all travel plans futile. The entire contingent, comprising players, support staff, BCCI officials, and accompanying media personnel, found themselves confined to the island as all forms of transport were suspended.

The gravity of the storm was palpable, with the video call from Kohli showcasing the relentless force of nature. At times, the storm appeared to relent, only to return with renewed intensity, bringing with it massive ocean waves that forced the team to remain indoors for their safety.

As the storm's ferocity subsides, there are tentative plans for the team's return. Reports from the stranded Indian media suggest that Team India might be able to board a flight back home around 11:30 PM local time on Tuesday, July 2. This equates to a takeoff time of approximately 10 AM IST on July 3, with an anticipated arrival in Delhi around 1 AM on Thursday, July 4.
