As far as the Indian team is concerned, it could be the last dance for a couple of its star players in Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli to win a World Cup for the side as seniors. Rohit was part of India's team that lifted the 2007 T20 World Cup, while Kohli won the 50-overs World Cup in 2011.

The squad departed for the USA earlier this week, and have begun training in New York ahead of their tournament opener against Ireland on June 5.

Along with their training, the members of the team have been given the opportunity to explore the city and places they are based, which is currently New York. On Wednesday, opening batter Yashasvi Jaiswal posted a photo on Instagram from Garden City, in Nassau County.

One of the comments on the post came from India teammate Suryakumar Yadav, who said, "Sambhaal ke. Garden me ghoomega tho pata hai na" (Careful. If you roam in the garden then you know...).

The comment may sound strange, but it was a cheeky one from 'SKY', referencing a comment made by Indian captain Rohit Sharma during India's home Test series against England in February, where he used the analogy of a garden to remind his players to focus and not slack off in the field.
