India’s cricket stars Yuzvendra Chahal, Avesh Khan, and Yashasvi Jaiswal are among the next batch of players to board the flight to New York. They are set to join the Indian contingent in the US ahead of the highly anticipated ICC T20 World Cup 2024, which kicks off on Saturday, June 2.
Chahal, Avesh, and Jaiswal were all integral parts of the Rajasthan Royals in the recently concluded 2024 Indian Premier League (IPL). Their campaign ended after Qualifier 2, where they faced defeat against the eventual runners-up, SunRisers Hyderabad.
Sharing his excitement for the upcoming national duty, Chahal posted a picture with Avesh and Jaiswal from the airport on his official Instagram handle, captioning it: “National duty ON.” The post has garnered significant attention, reflecting the high hopes and enthusiasm of fans for India’s performance in the World Cup.
The inclusion of these players in the national squad is seen as a significant boost, given their impressive performances in the IPL. As they head to New York, the Indian team aims to clinch the prestigious title, adding another chapter to their storied cricketing legacy.
