India had their flight reservation booked on Monday as Sunday was expected to be a reserve day for the T20 World Cup 2024, if rain halted play on Saturday. Hence, they could not leave at the early hours of the day on Sunday. Now they have to wait till the situation improves in Barbados and airport is reopened.

India did not lose a single game in the T20 World Cup 2024 and became the first side in history to win the T20 World Cup undefeated. They were put under the pump in the final against South Africa. Rohit Sharma won the toss and elected to bat first. At one stage, India were 34/3 and were in deep trouble. However, Virat Kohli finally stepped up on the day. He held the innings and scored 76 runs of 59 balls. Axar Patel was an able partner with 47 runs off 31 balls. They powered India to 176 in their 20 overs.
