Virat Kohli Joins Indian Team for T20 World Cup

Virat Kohli, India's talismanic batsman, has joined his team in New York for the upcoming T20 World Cup. His arrival comes five days after the rest of the Indian squad landed in the city.

Kohli's participation in the warm-up match against Bangladesh on Saturday remains uncertain. The BCCI has confirmed his arrival, but he is expected to rest after a long flight. His involvement in the practice match will depend on his personal inclination and readiness.

Despite missing three training sessions, the team management is not concerned about Kohli's preparation. They trust his experience and ability to prepare himself adequately for the tournament. Kohli has an impressive tally of 741 runs in 15 IPL matches, indicating that he needs minimal additional match practice.

Kohli's arrival completes the Indian squad for the T20 World Cup. The team has been arriving in batches, with the first group landing on May 25 and the second contingent reaching on May 28.

The Indian team management has a history of granting special considerations to Kohli. He was allowed a break before the South Africa Test series and opted out of the entire Test series against England at home to be present for the birth of his second child.

Kohli's presence in the Indian team is crucial for their success in the T20 World Cup. He is one of the most experienced and successful batsmen in the world, and his leadership and batting prowess will be vital for India's chances of winning the tournament.
