The Indian team would be travelling after the end of the third Test and Kohli stated that the team had made plans to ensure no one missed the Jamaican’s event.

"We're thinking that since we're travelling on 14th (August), we'll miss Bolt's event as he is running that day. But some of my teammates have already have the timings sorted out on what time we would reach the hotel and what time is Bolt's event. They have told us we won't miss it."

Virat also added that though they are not Olympians, as international sportspersons they have a lot of interest in these events. “There is nothing bigger than Olympics so it's a different kind of excitement that it creates." said the Indian batsman.
