While star batsman Virat Kohli and vice-captain Hardik Pandya are set to link up with the initial arrivals later, the traveling contingent already boasts the presence of head coach Rahul Dravid and the support crew.
Among those touching down were Rohit, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant, Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, and Axar Patel. Reserve players Shubman Gill and Khaleel Ahmed also joined the squad, ready to lend their support.
Kohli, fresh from his appearance in the IPL Eliminator in Ahmedabad on Wednesday, will reunite with the squad at a later stage, as will Hardik, who headed to the United Kingdom following the IPL league stage.
