Should Kohli open for India at the T20 World Cup?
Most members of the India team had their first training session after reaching New York City ahead of the 2024 T20 World Cup on Tuesday at a local facility. Virat Kohli is the only one to not have reached New York yet, and could be a doubt for India’s only warm-up fixture ahead of the main tournament, against Bangladesh on June 1 at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium. There has been no update on his travel status from the BCCI yet.The team has travelled to New York in batches, with players from teams eliminated after the league stage of IPL 2024 travelling first, except Hardik Pandya, who reached after a break, followed by players as and when their teams were eliminated from the playoffs.Soham Desai, the team’s strength and conditioning coach provided an idea of the routine being followed by the players, who have all been part of the grind at IPL 2024 over the past couple of months and are easing into match-readiness. “Eased into our routines here, the idea was to just get used to the time zone,” he said in a video posted by the BCCI on social media.
