The Indian men's cricket team has been busy preparing for the upcoming T20 World Cup, with their first ground session taking place in New York on Wednesday. Led by strength and conditioning coach Soham Desai, the team engaged in a light running session filled with fun activities. However, they decided to forgo any cricket practices in order to adjust to the time difference in the USA.
According to Desai, the main focus of the ground session was to help the players' bodies adapt to the new time zone. Playing in an away condition can be challenging, and it is crucial to prepare both physically and mentally for the upcoming matches. This is the current focus for the team as they continue their preparations.
The ground session saw the participation of some key players including skipper Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant, and Jasprit Bumrah, among others. Even traveling substitutes Shubman Gill and Khaleel Ahmed were involved in the activities, showcasing the team's unity and dedication.
The team's next stop will be at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York, where they will face Bangladesh in a warm-up game on June 1. This will be followed by their first match of the T20 World Cup on June 5 against Ireland. The highly-anticipated clash against Pakistan will take place on June 9, adding to the excitement and pressure for the team.
India's journey in the tournament will continue with matches against co-hosts USA on June 12 and Canada on June 15, both to be played in New York and Florida respectively. As the inaugural winners of the Men's T20 World Cup in 2007, the Indian team is determined to claim the silverware once again through the upcoming tournament. With their hard work and dedication, they are determined to make their country proud and bring home the coveted trophy.
