Virat Kohli on the significance of USA T20 World Cup: Even though the T20 World Cup is being held there, Virat Kohli acknowledged that he never imagined he would be playing cricket in the US, demonstrating how far the sport has come.

To be honest, I never imagined that cricket would be played in the United States (USA), but it does now. That illustrates the increasing influence of sports worldwide, and the US is eager to adapt. With the World Cup, they will likely be the first nation to do so globally, according to Kohli, who made these remarks in a video posted on X, the old Twitter platform.

It’s a terrific beginning. It will have a significant impact and is the best approach to get started. It’s like a domino effect that’s just getting started, and I hope it lasts for a long time,” he continued.

He also emphasized the contribution that residents of the Americas from the South Asian region may make to the advancement of the sport.

“There are enough people from our areas to maintain cricket’s popularity in the United States and increase awareness of the sport among others.” It has a lot of potential, especially considering Major League Cricket (MLC). There’s franchise cricket played there already. It’s heading in the right way, according to Kohli.

In the USA, sixteen matches will be held in New York, Texas, and Florida. Eight of these games, including the highly anticipated India-Pakistan encounter, will take place in New York.
