Rohit Sharma’s scolding, Rahul Dravid moving to Economy Class: Inside story of India’s Barbados-Delhi Flight

Rohit Sharma

It has been more than a month since India won the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. The 11-year wait for the ICC trophy ended after the Men in Blue defeated South Africa in the final, but the team was stuck in Barbados for three days due to Hurricane Beryl. Jay Shah, the BCCI secretary, arranged a special flight for the team and the media personnel to return home.

The flight AIC24WC brought the heroes home. The players and the support staff enjoyed their 16-hour-long flight. A Star Sports producer, who was travelling with the team, revealed interesting details of the events.

“I don’t think anyone slept for more than six hours. Players met the members of the press. Star Sports enginners were also part of the flight. Rahul Dravid left his seat in the Business Class and came to the Economy Class to sleep,” the producer said as quoted by Hindustan Times.

“I heard Rohit Sharma scolding somebody but in a light-hearted style. Hardik Pandya and Rishabh Pant had a dicussuion with media. There was a lot chatter.”

Fans welcomed the Indian team, and they even visited the Prime Minister’s house for a special breakfast in Delhi. A parade was organized for the players in Mumbai, and a function took place at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.

MS Dhoni ready to play for CSK in IPL 2025 if one condition is met

Image
MS Dhoni was battling fitness issues in the Indian Premier League 2024, leading to speculations that he would not return in the next season. No one knows about his plans as the legendary cricketer has a habit of revealing his decisions at the last moment. According to Cricbuzz, Dhoni has spoken about his future with the owner of Chennai Super Kings, N Srinivasan. His association with the five-time champions will depend on the number of retentions allowed by the BCCI. If the number of retained players is five or six, Dhoni could play in the league. In 2018, the franchises were permitted to keep five players for the season, but it was brought down to four in 2022. A final call on a number of retentions for IPL 2025 will be taken soon. Dhoni will be automatically retained if he decides to play for one more season. He led the team to their fifth title in 2023 but left the captaincy before the start of the 17th season, giving the captain’s armband to Ruturaj Gaikwad. The team faile...

“I love bowling the wrong ’uns”: Ravi Bishnoi on his match-winning bowling spell against Sri Lanka

Image
PALLEKELE, Sri Lanka (AP) — Wrist spinner Ravi Bishnoi claimed 3-26 as India beat Sri Lanka by seven wickets with nine balls of the rain-reduced second T20 game remaining to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series. Bishnoi got support Sunday from left-arm spinner Axar Patel (2-30), while pacers Hardik Pandya and Arshdeep Singh shared four wickets, as Sri Lanka was restricted to 161-9 in 20 overs. Rain impacted the game twice – first, when the start was delayed by 45 minutes without any overs lost. Later, it stopped the game for another 70 minutes with India at 6-0 halfway through the first over of its chase. On resumption, the match was shortened to eight overs with a target of 78 runs under the DLS method. That left India needing 72 runs off 45 balls. Opener Yashasvi Jaiswal scored 30 off 15 balls, while skipper Suryakumar Yadav hit a 12-ball 26. Hardik Pandya smacked 22 not out off nine balls, as India powered to 81-3 in 6.3 overs. India won the first T20 ...
