Before starting their journey in the T20 World Cup 2024, India and Bangladesh teams will play a warm-up match in New York. Indian players have been away from international cricket for almost two months. On the other hand, Bangladesh will also get a chance to face a good team. In such a situation, this match is going to be very important for both the teams from the point of view of preparation for the tournament. Meanwhile, India’s star batsman Virat Kohli has landed in New York and has checked in at the team hotel. Now a big update has come about him before the match against Bangladesh.
Question on Virat Kohli’s playing?
Virat Kohli left for New York from Mumbai airport on Thursday, May 30. BCCI sources have said that after a long journey of 16 hours, he has joined the rest of the team members in the team hotel on Friday. He also gave a big update about Virat Kohli. The situation is not clear yet on Virat’s playing in the only warm-up match against Bangladesh. He told that he is very tired due to the long flight and will now rest. He further said that whether Virat will play in the match or not depends on how he is feeling on the day of the match.
What will the weather be like during the India-Bangladesh match?
The first batch of the Indian team reached New York on 25 May. The second batch landed on 28 May. Virat Kohli was also going to go to America with Sanju Samson, Rinku Singh and Yuzvendra Chahal in the second batch but he had extended his break by speaking to the BCCI. Therefore, he has joined the team 5 days after the arrival of the entire team. On the other hand, Rohit Sharma is sweating it out with the rest of the team before the warm-up match. Some warm-up matches of the T20 World Cup being held in America have been washed away by rain. However, the weather is expected to be clear in the India and Bangladesh match and there is every possibility of the match being held on Saturday at the Naso County Stadium.
