New York: It was a dream start for Team India at the T20 World Cup 2024 as they beat Ireland by eight wickets on Wednesday in the Nassau County in New York. Following the win, the mood in the camp was upbeat. India captain Rohit Sharma and former cricketing legend Yuvraj Singh, who is also the brand ambassador of the tournament, were seen joking with each other after the game. Both the cricketers were part of the first T20 WC in 2007 which India won.
Here are some of the pictures that are going viral on social space:

Meanwhile, Rohit retired hurt on 52* off 37 balls. His innings was laced with four boundaries and three sixes. Eventually, India won the match by eight wickets and 24 balls to spare. And he got these runs in tricky conditions, not exactly favouring the batters.
“Quite unsure of what to expect from the pitch. Not aware on what it is to play like on a pitch that’s five months old. I don’t think the wicket settled down even when we batted second. There was enough for the bowlers. That’s pretty much what you gotta do. Try to hit those lengths consistently,” Rohit revealed the gameplan.
So, will Rohit miss the Pakistan game on June 9? No, he will lead the side in the Nassau County International cricket stadium in New York. He will also be key to India’s fortune in that high-profile game. The runs that he got tonight will give him a lot of confidence. But he would also realise he was dropped early. Eyes would be on Rohit during the game against the arch-rivals.
