T20 World Cup 2024: Virat Kohli Skips Another Practice Session
Virat Kohli also missed India’s only warm-up match against Bangladesh in T20 World Cup 2024.
Team India registered a convincing 60-run win in their only warm-up match against Bangladesh at the T20 World Cup 2024. While the team displayed strong batting and bowling performances, all eyes were on Virat Kohli, who missed all practice sessions leading up to the game.
Virat Kohli opted for an extended break after the IPL season and rejoined the squad just one day before the Bangladesh match. He was not included in the playing XI, with skipper Rohit Sharma citing his late arrival as the reason.
Following their win, the Indian team was granted a rest day, which led Kohli to miss another practice session on Sunday. This came as Sri Lanka and South Africa utilised the Cantiague Park training facility in preparation for their own World Cup opener.
What’s Next for Virat Kohli?
Reports suggest Kohli will rejoin the team for their training session today (3rd June), with timings yet to be confirmed. This news will be a relief for Indian fans eagerly awaiting their batting superstar’s return to the field.
Kohli enters the World Cup in top form, having secured the IPL 2024 Orange Cap with a phenomenal 741 runs in 15 matches. He also has an impressive T20 World Cup record, holding the title for leading run-scorer in the tournament’s history with a total of 1141 runs.
