[WATCH] Rohit Sharma And Rahul Dravid Rush Through Rain In New York

Team India captain Rohit Sharma and head coach Rahul Dravid were recently spotted taking cover from the rain in New York. They are currently with the Indian team in the USA for the 2024 T20 World Cup, which begins on Saturday, June 1.

The Indian cricket team arrived in New York a few days ago and has started their preparations for the major event. Despite their busy schedule, Rohit and Rahul were seen spending time together.

In a video shared by a fan account on X, Rohit Sharma and Rahul Dravid were seen running to their car to escape the New York rain, possibly after leaving a restaurant.

Team India will kick off their T20 World Cup campaign against Ireland in New York on June 5. They are in Group A, along with arch-rivals Pakistan, Canada, Ireland, and co-hosts USA.

In the previous T20 World Cup hosted by Australia, the Men in Blue were eliminated in the semi-finals. They were defeated by the eventual champions, England, by 10 wickets in Adelaide.

“Rohit Sharma handles spin very well, so batting at No. 4 shouldn’t be an issue”– Wasim Jaffer

Former Indian opener Wasim Jaffer believes that skipper Rohit Sharma should bat at No. 3 or 4 in the World Cup due to his strong performance against spin. He also mentioned that young left-hander Yashasvi Jaiswal should open alongside Virat Kohli in the major tournament.

“Kohli and Jaiswal should open in the World Cup imo. Rohit & SKY should bat 3 and 4 depending on the start we get. Rohit plays spin really well so batting at 4 shouldn’t be a concern,” Jaffer wrote on X.
