In preparation for the T20 World Cup, Team India has begun training after the first two groups of players arrived in the USA. The first few players to go to the USA for the massive ICC tournament were Rohit Sharma and other important players like Jasprit Bumrah, Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant, Kuldeep Yadav, Shivam Dube, Axar Patel, and Mohammed Siraj. Along with the initial group of players, Rahul Dravid and other members of the coaching staff traveled.

On Tuesday night in Mumbai, Kohli and Anushka Sharma were seen out to dinner. Former cricket player Zaheer Khan and his wife Sagarika Ghatge were also present.
