The Indian cricket team is likely to be without the services of Virat Kohli for the warm-up game against Bangladesh on June 01, ahead of the start of the T20 World Cup 2024.

As per a report, Virat sought an extended break from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) following RCB's heartbreaking exit from the IPL. Hence, his availability for the warm-up clash against Bangladesh is highly doubtful.
