As Virat Kohli enters, US security and mounted guards.

Virat Kohli was guarded by the US security personnel as he walked in to a practice session.

The United States of America’s security is doing everything possible to guarantee that the T20 World Cup is a hassle-free competition free from disruptions or unanticipated events. Notwithstanding the popularity of cricket in the nation, the New York Police Department is closely monitoring the movements of fans and any external obstructions that could potentially cause disruptions to players or teams. This is especially true in the case of Virat Kohli, a global icon whose craze has spread to the shores of NYC.

Nobody knows the T20 World Cup better than the officials, and Kohli is the face that controls the show. After arriving in the United States on Friday, Kohli and his teammates prepared for India’s opening T20 World Cup match against Ireland on Wednesday. Despite missing Sunday’s practise and the warm-up against Bangladesh, Kohli was well-guarded. With a bat in hand and at least six security guards in tow, Kohli was spotted heading to join his teammates in a now-viral video. We also observed a couple of guards riding horses, which goes to show how important he is to the World Cup.

The fact that no other Indian player was as well-guarded as Kohli highlights how important the Indian player is to the event, regardless of whether USA security provided preferential treatment for him. Guys such as Shivam Dube, Arshdeep Singh, and Suryakumar Yadav have been to Times Square and other prominent locations since they arrived in the United States. They had a great time touring and having lunch there.

The IND vs. BAN warm-up game provided a look into the seriousness and worry of USA security for the T20 World Cup when a fan stormed the pitch and gave Rohit Sharma a hug. The New York Police handled it with a no-nonsense approach, despite the fact that it might be a typical sight in other areas of the world. Even as Rohit begged them to be gentle with him, two police officers violently subdued the intruder, tackled him to the ground, and carried him away. Because US security is so tight, it’s possible that the invader will have his visa revoked and be sent back to his home country.

Virat Kohli opens up on playing cricket in USA

The fact that cricket is being played in the USA, in addition to the T20 World Cup, is really positive for the game there. The USA is a country that thrives on baseball, the NFL, and the NBA as its three most popular sports, so the addition of cricket should help the country become a major player in the world of cricket in the years to come. Even for a player like Virat Kohli, who has represented India in almost every country that allows cricket, the prospect of representing his country in the United States is something he never anticipated.

“To be honest, I never imagined that cricket would be played in the United States. However, it is now a fact. And it demonstrates the sport’s expanding worldwide influence, as the United States is more than ready to embrace change and will likely be the first nation to do so globally with the World Cup, as Kohli recently stated in a video message.
