Watch: Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah meet NBA legend John Starks in New York

NEW DELHI: Ahead of the high-stakes ICC T20 World Cup clash between India and Pakistan at the Nassau International Cricket Stadium, star India batter Virat Kohli and former India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh had the opportunity to meet NBA legend John Starks on the ground.

The NBA shared a video on social media platform X, capturing the moment Kohli and Singh welcomed Starks to the T20 World Cup.

The post was captioned: "@imVkohli and @YUVSTRONG12 welcome John Starks to the @T20WorldCup!"

In another video, Yuvraj Singh was also seen introducing Starks to India's star seamer, Jasprit Bumrah.

India triumphed over Pakistan in a nail-biting contest, winning by six runs. The victory was anchored by a top-class bowling performance from pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah, who took three crucial wickets for just 14 runs in his four overs.

This win propels India to the top of Group A with two wins from two games, securing four points. Meanwhile, Pakistan finds themselves in a precarious position, placed fourth in the group after consecutive losses to the USA and India, with their chances of advancing to the knockout stage looking slim.
