Indian cricket star Virat Kohli was recently seen video calling his wife, Anushka Sharma, showing her the turbulent weather in Barbados due to Hurricane Beryl. Kohli, who is currently stranded with the Indian cricket team in Barbados following their victory in the ICC World T20 Cup, used the opportunity to give his wife a firsthand look at the powerful storm.
Hurricane Beryl, as reported by The Indian Express, has significantly impacted the region, leading to a closure of the Grantley Adams International Airport and halting all flight services indefinitely. The Indian team was scheduled to leave Barbados on July 1 at 11 am local time, with plans to fly to New York and then connect to a flight to Dubai before returning to India. However, these plans have been disrupted due to the hurricane, which has led to a curfew and affected electricity and water supply across the island.
Barbados, the island is experiencing violent winds and flash flooding. The National Hurricane Centre's advisory has warned of life-threatening winds and storm surges in the Windward Islands, which include Barbados. This situation has led to significant disruptions, with Team India and accompanying media personnel stuck on the island until further notice.
Amidst this chaos, Kohli took a moment to connect with his wife, sharing the intense experience with her via video call. The images of Kohli on the balcony, pointing his phone towards the raging storm.
The Indian cricket team’s predicament underscores the broader impact of such natural disasters, affecting not only the local population but also visitors and international travellers. The stranded team now waits for the situation to improve and for flight services to resume so they can return home safely.
This incident also brings attention to the importance of staying connected with loved ones during emergencies.
