In one such video shot by a fan and circulating on social media, former India captain Kohli could be seen sitting down in the team’s dugout, getting ready to have food while the fans cheered to get his attention.

India defeated Bangladesh by 60 runs in their only warm-up match to signal they are fully prepared to have a shot at winning their second T20 World Cup title — 17 years after MS Dhoni’s team lifted the trophy in the inaugural edition of the tournament in 2007.
Kohli, who is in form and won the Orange Cap as the top run-getter at the just-concluded IPL season, did not bat in the practice match against Bangladesh on Saturday, where the team tested other batting options, including Sanju Samson, who opened with skipper Rohit Sharma.
Rohit & Co will begin their campaign in Group A with the match against Ireland on June 5 in New York, followed by the big game against Pakistan on June 9 at the same venue. Co-hosts USA and Canada are the other two teams in the group.
