Kohli Doubtful For India vs Bangladesh T20 World Cup 2024 Warm-Up Match

India are also scheduled to play a warm-up game against Bangladesh on June 1, for which Virat Kohli seems doubtful because of his late departure for the USA. Kohli was not part of the first batch of players that left for the USA while skipper Rohit Sharma and head coach Rahul Dravid left for the States. However, after being eliminated in the playoff stage, Kohli took some time off and delayed his departure for America.

Kohli had an incredible IPL 2024 season, earning the Orange Cap with 714 runs in 15 matches. Despite being in stupendous form with his batting, his team Royal Challengers Bengaluru could not make it past the Eliminator as they were knocked out by Rajasthan Royals.
