Let us tell you that Kohli reached New York on Friday evening and now he has started preparing for the tournament. He said in a video released on X by the US Consulate, Mumbai, that, to be honest, I never thought that we would play any kind of cricket in America. But now this thing is going to become a reality. Kohli further said that the ICC wants to spread and expand cricket in other parts of the world and organizing the T20 World Cup in the US will have far-reaching consequences.

The Indian team is included in Group A in the T20 World Cup, which includes teams from Ireland, USA, Pakistan and Canada. India will start its campaign in this global tournament against Ireland on June 5. After this, the team will face its old rival Pakistan on June 9.
