Team India have started their campaign in the ongoing ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024 in a strong fashion. The Men in Blue have booked their place in the Super 8s of the tournament after an unbeaten run in the group stage.

The Rohit Sharma-led side began its campaign in the ninth edition of the tournament with an eight-wicket win over Ireland. After the bowlers restricted Ireland to a modest total of 96 runs, the batters chased it down with ease. It was followed by a thrilling 6-run win over arch-rivals Pakistan.

Asked to bat first, India could score only a modest total of 119 runs on a tough pitch in New York. However, the bowlers came up with another superb display to restrict Pakistan to 113 and powered the team to a famous win. In the third game, India beat the high-flying USA to book their place in the playoffs before their final group game against Canada was abandoned without a ball being bowled due to a wet outfield.

And ahead of the game, Team India enjoyed a game of beach volleyball in Barbados. While the likes of Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, and a few others were not seen in the video posted by the BCCI, the likes of Virat Kohli, Rinku Singh, Khaleel Ahmed, Shivam Dube, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Yuzvendra Chahal, and Hardik Pandya were enjoying the game.
