T20 WC 2024: Run machine Kohli made a big statement about playing cricket in USA, said- I never thought of it...

 

The T20 World Cup 2024 is going to start from June 1 and its final will be played on June 29. West Indies and USA are jointly hosting this mega event. The ICC is organizing this mega event in the USA for the first time and the reason behind this is to promote cricket there. At the same time, Indian batsman Virat Kohli has expressed his reaction about playing in the USA. He said that he had never thought of playing in this country and hopes that it will grow there and people will become aware.

Virat said, "Honestly, I never thought we would play cricket in any form in the States. But now it is a reality. It tells you about the growing influence of the game in the world and the United States is ready to accept this change and probably the first globally to accept it with the World Cup, which I think is a great start."

The run machine further added, "This is the ideal way to start. So I think it is going to have a huge impact and there will be a kind of domino effect in the beginning and I hope it continues for a long time. We have enough people from our regions who will keep the game alive in the states and make others more aware of what it feels like to play cricket and watch cricket. I think there is a lot of potential for this in MLC (Major League Cricket) as well. You already know there is franchise cricket happening there. So I think it is moving in the right direction."

Virat Kohli will be eager to leave his impact in the T20 World Cup 2024. All the teams will have their eyes on this legendary batsman. Let us tell you that in this mega event, Team India will play its first match against Ireland on June 5 at Nassau County International Cricket Stadium, New York. India will play the second match on June 9 against its arch-rival Pakistan on the same ground. Everyone is eagerly waiting for this match.
