The first batch of Indian players, including captain Rohit Sharma and others, have landed in Mumbai ahead of the T20 World Cup 2024, which starts on June 2. They’re headed to the States. The support team traveled with the squad to the USA and the West Indies in an effort to win a second T20 World Cup, in addition to head coach Rahul Dravid.
According to earlier rumors, Rohit and Kohli are among the first batch of Indian cricket players to go for the T20 World Cup in 2024. Rumor has it that the players would leave Mumbai at 10 PM to catch a flight for Dubai, from which they will proceed to New York. These well-known individuals, along with Jasprit Bumrah, Rishabh Pant, Suryakumar Yadav, and Kuldeep Yadav, will all be leaving the country on Saturday.
Virat Kohli is scheduled to depart by May 30th, but he has not yet boarded the first flight to the USA for the T20 World Cup because of unfinished business.
