Virat Kohli might not have played during India’s 60-run win over Bangladesh in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 warm-up match in New York, but he is still ruling the headlines with just his appearance at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium.

The Indian batting superstar was rested for their only warm-up game in the T20 World Cup 2024 due to his long journey, as he arrived in New York late Friday night after a 16-hour flight from Mumbai. However, the Indian cricket team managed to dominate the Tigers completely in the match.

However, Kohli didn’t play in the India versus Bangladesh warm-up match, but he was seen warming up and had a net session at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York.
