It was expected and it happened, when Darren Sammy landed at the Saint Lucia airport there were hundreds of people from all age groups present outside the airport to welcome him and teammate Charles.
Sammy came outside the airport and immediately he was surrounded by a huge crowd. The music was played and what else could have been played other than Bravo’s champion song. The crowd wanted Sammy to dance he did.
Sammy was in the middle while the people were gathered around him with both his hands opening up and closing down with the beat of the song. West Indies was celebrating the champion dance. The party did not end here.
Sammy and Charles then took the road in the form of a caravan. There are a lot of vehicles present at the front and tail of their opened van. Sammy and Charles were standing at the back with the trophy held by Charles, who was showing it to the people.
A lot of the public was gathered on both sides of the road just to watch the celebrations, both the national heroes and the cup. Sammy then jumped off the van and went to meet the public. He thrilled everyone present near him.
There were selfies taken. The music was once again played with the champions on and dance hitting the airs of Saint Lucia. This was carnival time for West and especially Saint Lucia from where the captain belonged.Sammy after spending a few days in his hometown will then head back to the subcontinent to play the IPL in India. The point has been made that T20 cricket is nothing if we take out West Indian players from the format. They are the reason that such leagues have become a success.
