The Indian team’s net session ahead of their opening game for the T20 World Cup 2024 was underway and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) released a video sharing glimpses of the preparations as Rohit Sharma’s side looks to get their hands on silverware.
The video published on the Indian Cricket Team’s official handle on Instagram showed glimpses of the squad members toiling it out on a sunny day in Cantiague Park, New York.
Hardik Pandya was seen playing the on-drive and looking to get his timing on point ahead of the T20 showpiece event. He might not have had the ideal return to Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League 2024, but his importance to the Indian side cannot be stressed enough. He was also seen bowling in the video, which indicates that his fitness might no longer be an issue.

Among the bowlers, the spinners were featured more prominently in the video where the likes of Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Ravindra Jadeja and Axar Patel all bowling in the nets.
In the pace department, Jasprit Bumrah and Arshdeep Singh were the key features along with the likes of Avesh Khan and Khaleel Ahmed in the video. Bumrah and Arshdeep are likely to be the front-runners to be picked in the starting XI along with Mohammed Siraj. While Bumrah seems to be in good form, the likes of Arshdeep and Siraj are known to be leaking runs and will prove to be a problem in the tournament.
