Virat Kohli To Join Team India For T20 World Cup Warm-Up Against Bangladesh

India batter Virat Kohli has departed for the USA to join the team on Thursday, May 30. The majority of the Indian players are already in the USA, preparing for the upcoming T20 World Cup, which starts on June 1.

India will begin their campaign against Ireland on June 5. Before that, they are set to play a warm-up match against Bangladesh on Saturday, June 1. As Team India takes on Bangladesh in this match, India coach Rahul Dravid will be hoping to field a strong team ahead of their premier encounter. Rohit Sharma, Ravindra Jadeja, Jasprit Bumrah, and other stars are expected to play a part in it. The question has arisen whether Virat Kohli will be participating in the match. Kohli had an outstanding IPL season with Royal Challengers Bengaluru, where he ended up scoring the highest amount of runs and won the Orange Cap.

The Indian batter has shown his tremendous class with some scintillating knocks throughout the season. As the focus shifts to the World Cup, there will be a massive responsibility on his shoulders.

Virat Kohli has taken a flight to the USA on Thursday and is likely to reach New York on Friday morning local time. The India stalwart will join the team on Friday itself but is unlikely to take part in the training session on Friday. When it comes to the match on Saturday, Kohli is set to feature against Bangladesh. India will play just a solitary warm-up match, which Kohli may not want to miss for adaptation purposes. As India plays their first match only on Wednesday, the team will be hoping to come unscathed in terms of injuries.
