The Indian Consulate in New York hosted a reception to welcome Team India on 10th June. The Indian national team is playing cricket in New York for the first time, with the US hosting the prestigious ICC T20 Cricket World Cup also for the first time. In an interactive session, the event brought alive the game of cricket in the minds and hearts of every Indian American present there. Rohit Sharma, the T20 captain, and Rahul Dravid, the head coach of the Indian cricket team, and all other team members bowled over the Indian diaspora leaders present at the reception.
