Win Projections to be updated soon
Virat Kohli, following Royal Challengers Bengaluru‘s early exit from IPL 2024, is extending his break and will likely miss India’s T20 World Cup warm-up game against Bangladesh on June 1. The first batch of Indian players, including captain Rohit Sharma, head coach Rahul Dravid, and others, departed for New York, but Kohli, the Orange Cap holder with 741 runs in 15 matches, was absent.
BCCI Official Statement
A BCCI official mentioned, “Kohli had informed us way beforehand that he will be joining the team late and that is why the BCCI has kept his visa appointment for a later date. He is expected to fly out to New York in the early morning of May 30th. The BCCI has agreed to his request.”
Other Players
Players like Mohammed Siraj, Suryakumar Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, and others traveled with the first batch. Sanju Samson and Hardik Pandya are also set to leave later due to personal commitments.
India’s T20 World Cup Schedule
India will start their campaign against Ireland on June 5, followed by a high-profile match against Pakistan on June 9. The group also includes matches against the USA and Canada.
