Star batter Virat Kohli has left for the USA to join the Indian squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup. The cricketer was spotted at the Mumbai airport, where he graciously gave an autograph to a young fan and interacted with the paparazzi.
Kohli, along with his wife Anushka Sharma, recently sent out gift hampers to the paparazzi as a token of appreciation for respecting their children’s privacy. The gesture was well-received by the media, with Kohli attributing the idea to his wife.
India is set to kick off their T20 World Cup campaign on June 5 against Ireland at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York. The highly anticipated match between India and Pakistan is scheduled for June 9, followed by games against USA on June 12 and Canada on June 15.
With a strong squad led by Rohit Sharma and vice-captain Hardik Pandya, India is aiming to end their ICC trophy drought and secure their first T20 World Cup title since 2007. The team has come close to victory in various ICC tournaments in recent years but has fallen short of clinching the title.
Fans are eagerly awaiting India’s performance in the T20 World Cup, hoping that this year will be the year they bring home the coveted trophy. Kohli’s presence in the squad adds to the excitement and anticipation surrounding the tournament.
