Watch: First batch of Indian Team leaves for USA ahead of T20 World Cup

Prior to the T20 World Cup 2024, which begins on June 2, the first group of Indian players, including captain Rohit Sharma, Ravindra Jadeja, and others, have landed in Mumbai. They will go to the USA. In addition to head coach Rahul Dravid, the support crew was present when the team left for the USA and the West Indies in an attempt to win a second T20 World Cup.

Rohit and Kohli are among the first group of Indian cricket players to depart for the T20 World Cup in 2024, according to earlier reports. According to rumours, the players will board an aircraft to Dubai at 10 PM from Mumbai before continuing on to New York. Along with Jasprit Bumrah, Rishabh Pant, Suryakumar Yadav, and Kuldeep Yadav, these prominent figures will also be departing the nation on Saturday.

However, Virat Kohli has not flown with the first batch to the USA for the T20 WC due to pending paperwork and is expected to leave by May 30th.
