Virat Kohli Trains With Indian Team For First Time In New York, Crowd Goes Crazy – WATCH VIDEO
Virat Kohli was the last Indian player to arrive in New York for the T20 World Cup 2024.
New York: Virat Kohli was greeted with huge cheers as he stepped to train at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York for the first time on Saturday ahead of the T20 World Cup 2024. Having reached the United States on Friday, it was believed that Kohli would not come to the ground because of being jet-lagged. Although Kohli missed out on the warm-up game against Bangladesh on the day, but the former India captain made sure he doesn’t miss out on practice.
Earlier, Kohli took a mini break after Royal Challengers Bengaluru were eliminated from the IPL 2024 playoffs following their loss against Rajasthan Royals in the Eliminator.

Kohli was also seen swarming up with Shubman Gill. As far as the match is concerned, Hardik Pandya’s all-round show and Rishabh Pant’s reassurance with the willow ensured a comfortable 60-run victory for India in their only warm-up game against Bangladesh, ahead of the T20 World Cup tournament proper.
Opting to bat, India made 182/5 in their allotted 20 overs. Wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant top-scored for India as he got himself retired out after making 53 runs off 32 balls, while Hardik Pandya and Suryakumar Yadav scored 40 not out and 31 respectively.
For Bangladesh, Mahedi Hasan, Shoriful Islam, Mahmudullah and Tanvir Islam got a wicket apiece. In reply, Bangladesh were never in the game, ending their innings at 122/8 in 20 overs with Arshdeep Singh (2/13) getting some deliveries to swing up-front. Pandya, after a good hand with the bat, also got a wicket. Shivam Dube got a chance to bowl and took a couple of wickets.
