New Delhi: Security personnel in the United States of America are leaving no stone unturned to ensure that the T20 World Cup remains a hassle-free tournament. The New York Police Department is keeping a watchful eye on the matches and the security arrangements leading to the build-up, carefully monitoring the movement of fans or any outside obstacles that may cause any disruptions to players or teams.

When it comes to Virat Kohli, special care is being taken to protect the global icon. Kohli arrived in the USA on Friday and lined up with the rest of his teammates ahead of India’s T20 World Cup opener against Ireland on Wednesday. Although Kohli missed the warm-up against Bangladesh and skipped practice on Sunday, he was guarded well and strong.

In a video that has gone viral, Kohli can be seen walking to join his teammates with a bat in hand and surrounded by at least 6 security personnel. A couple of guards on horseback were also spotted, indicating just how big a deal he is to the World Cup.

“Honestly, I never thought we would be playing cricket in any form in the States. But now it’s a reality. And that tells you about the growing impact of the sport in the world and the United States is more than willing to accept the change and be probably the first ones on a global scale to accept it, in a way, with the World Cup,” Kohli recently said in a video message.
