Every country has their own taste and interest with respect to sports and when it comes to India, it is quite obvious that ‘cricket’ is the most-watched and most-followed sport.
On the other hand, when it comes to the USA, popular sports include American Football, Baseball, Basketball and Ice Hockey. However, over the last few years, cricket piqued the attention of the people in the USA.
Notably, legendary players including Sachin Tendulkar, Shane Warne and others went on a promotional spree in the USA to play Road Safety Series a few years ago and since then, the sport was received well by the fans.
In fact, the two-match T20I series between India and West Indies was played at Central Broward Regional Park Stadium Turf Ground, Lauderhill, Florida. West Indies won the T20I opener by 1 run and the second game ended in the form of a no result.
India is likely to play their first game in the 2024 T20 World Cup in San Francisco
Now, in the latest development, it has been learnt that India is expected to play their first game in the ICC Men’s Twenty20 World Cup 2023 in San Fransico according to RevSportz.
It is good to note that the cricket craze is starting to develop in the USA and it will be interesting to see whether or not the bat-ball game would end up becoming one of the most popular sports there.
Team India’s journey in the last edition of the T20 World Cup brought them nothing but misery, especially after ending the group stage with 8 points, more than any other team in the competition.
The Men in Blue reached the semi-finals of the marquee event but failed to execute their plans against England in the crucial encounter and ended up getting eliminated from the competition.
Here’s how Twitterati reacted after India is likely to play their first game in the 2024 T20 World Cup in San Francisco
