The players of Kolkata Knight Riders had quite a rough time recently. After their triumphant victory against Lucknow Super Giants on Sunday, the team, led by Shreyas Iyer, was set to depart for Kolkata on Monday evening at 5:45 pm. The flight was expected to arrive at 7:25 pm, but things took an unexpected turn due to bad weather conditions.
The charter flight had to make an unscheduled stop in Guwahati, and then, due to continued unfavorable weather, it was diverted once again, this time to Varanasi. The team's media team kept fans updated with the situation, first announcing the diversion to Guwahati at 8:46 pm and then the clearance to fly back to Kolkata at 9:43 pm, with an estimated arrival time of 11 pm.
However, the players and support staff were in for more trouble as the flight failed to land in Kolkata despite several attempts. Ultimately, the officials decided to divert the flight in mid-air to Varanasi, where it finally landed at 1:15 am. The KKR team had to spend the night at Varanasi and is now scheduled to travel to Kolkata this afternoon.
The team's media team announced that the players would be staying at a hotel in Varanasi for the night and would be flying back to Kolkata this afternoon, with the exact time yet to be determined. Luckily, KKR's next game is only on May 11 against Mumbai Indians at Edens Garden. They are also set to play against Gujarat Titans in Ahmedabad on May 13 and Rajasthan Royals in Guwahati on May 19 for their last two league matches.
