It has been reported that Virat Kohli would miss India’s warm-up game against Bangladesh on June 1.
Star batter Virat Kohli was a notable absentee from India’s first training session ahead of the T20 World Cup. Team India, led by captain Rohit Sharma, trained in New York earlier this week with a light cardio session. The Indian team also hit the nets on Thursday, but there were no signs of Kohli at any of the sessions so far. After Kohli did not travel with the team to the Big Apple, multiple reports emerged on social media, claiming that the former India captain had asked for a break from the BCCI following the conclusion of the Indian Premier League.
It had also been reported that Kohli would miss India’s warm-up game against Bangladesh on June 1. Amid suspense around Kohli’s absence, the star batter was spotted at the Mumbai airport on Thursday night.
In a viral video, Kohli interacted with the paparazzi outside the airport, and also signed autographs for fans.
