The main man of Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), Virat Kohli, has arrived in India for the upcoming IPL 2024 season.
On the morning of Sunday, March 17, videos of Virat Kohli’s arrival in India from London went viral. The 35-year-old also had a brief interaction with the cameraman.
Kohli had been in London with his wife Anushka Sharma for the birth of their second child, a baby boy, whom they have named Akaay. Their daughter, Vamika, who was born in 2021, also was with them in London.
The legendary Indian batter pulled out from the entire Test series against England at home, which India won by a 4-1 scoreline. Despite Kohli’s absence, and KL Rahul missing four Tests, India were outstanding to win the series after losing the first Test. This was the first time that Virat Kohli missed an entire Test series since he made his Test debut.
