'Rahul Dravid slept in Economy, Rohit Sharma scolded' - What happened in Team India Flight from Barbados to Delhi

After the thrilling T20 World Cup victory, team India's landing on Indian soil was derailed due to nature's wrath.

The Indian team was stuck in Barbados for an extra couple of days due to a dangerous hurricane which approached the Caribbean island. The entire airport of Barbados was closed and that delayed India's trip from Barbados to Delhi.

Finally, it was BCCI who arranged a special flight for the Indian team. A chartered flight flew the entire Indian team and their family members, along with the media personnel to New Delhi. Rohit Sharma and his victorious team landed in the capital and the celebrations continued across cities.

Recently, the details of the flight have emerged. A source from the producer team revealed that none of the players had more than six hours of sleep. The source also confirmed that India head coach Rahul Dravid fell asleep on the economy seats.

"On this flight, Barbados to Delhi, I think hardly anyone slept for more than six hours. That would have been the maximum. At no point was anyone quiet. Everyone was mingling around. Players came to meet the members of the press and few others. Star Sports engineers were also part of the flight because theirs was cancelled and they were also accommodated. But there was a lot of interaction. Rohit Sharma came several times. I believe at one moment, Rahul Dravid came up to the economy section to figure out if there was a 4-seater because he wanted to sleep. He came there from the business class and slept there for some time," a producer was quoted as saying by Hindustan Times.

It was also revealed that Rohit Sharma showcased his true character on the flight. The India captain was heard scolding someone jokingly. The entire team celebrated on the flight and shared their thoughts along with the media personnel on the flight.

"I remember I was sleeping and I could suddenly hear Rohit scolding somebody. I saw and he was standing right there. But Rohit, in his style was scolding jokingly. After that, Hardik came, Rishabh came and they were all having discussions with the media. So obviously, there was a lot of chatter," he added.

It was indeed a magical moment for the entire nation and the Indian cricket team. The flight was also the most tracked in history. Rahul Dravid since has left his post as the India head coach while Rohit Sharma announced his retirement from the T20 format.
