Virat Kohli was surrounded by tight security as he arrived at the Nassau County ground, marking the beginning of India’s T20 World Cup 2024 campaign.
Team India’s star player, Virat Kohli, did not participate in the T20 World Cup 2024 warm-up game against Bangladesh on Saturday, as he had arrived in the United States late and was rested for the match. However, this did not diminish the attention on him. A video circulating on social media shows Kohli surrounded by a significant police presence and security personnel as he arrived at Nassau County ground, where India faced Bangladesh in the warm-up game.
Kohli remains the most prominent cricketing figure to arrive in the US for the T20 World Cup, making his security a top priority for the organizers. It’s clear that extensive measures are being taken to ensure his safety.
