This global event, which will bring the cricketing world together, kicks off on June 1, 2024, across three venues in the USA (Lauderhill, East Meadow, and Grand Prairie) and six in the West Indies (North Sound, Bridgetown, Providence, Gros Islet, Kingstown, and San Fernando).

The top order will be fronted by the 'Hitman ', a nickname earned by Rohit Sharma for his powerful and impactful batting style. This nickname is not just a title but a symbol of his dominance and the fear he instills in the opposition. Up-and-coming star Yashasvi Jaiswal will join him, followed by the experienced duo of Virat Kohli and Aapla Dada Surya, who will form a formidable batting lineup. These players, each with their unique strengths and contributions, embody the spirit of the Men in Blue.

The middle order signals an instant threat, as it will be led by our MI captain, Hardik Pandya. With Rishabh Pant, Sanju Samson, Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja, and Axar Patel for company, what we’re seeing is a solid hitting force.

Pace admiral Jasprit Bumrah will lead the bowling department alongside Mohammed Siraj and Arshdeep Singh. To complement the pace bowlers, Indian fans will see the return of the KulCha - Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal - pairing in international cricket.

This is IT. This is INDIA. We are not just ready, we are meticulously prepared to WIN IT. Let’s bring it home with our unwavering determination and unyielding spirit!
