Virat Kohli, the ace player from Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), has landed in India gearing up for the highly anticipated IPL 2024 season.
On Sunday morning, March 17, videos capturing Virat Kohli’s arrival back in India from London quickly spread across social media. The 35-year-old cricket star even shared a brief moment with the cameraman.
Kohli had been in London accompanying his wife, Anushka Sharma, for the birth of their second child, a baby boy named Akaay. Their daughter, Vamika, born in 2021, was also part of the family trip.
Skipping the entire Test series against England at home, where India triumphed with a 4-1 scoreline, was a departure for Kohli. It marked the first time he missed an entire Test series since making his debut.
But now, the king has returned. Virat Kohli touched down in Mumbai today, ready to resume activities, including joining the training camps of Royal Challengers Bangalore for the upcoming 2024 IPL season.
The anticipation builds for Kohli’s return to the field, especially given Royal Challengers Bangalore’s persistent pursuit of the IPL trophy over the past 16 seasons. Despite Kohli’s consistent brilliance for the team, the ultimate prize has remained elusive.
As Kohli gears up for his 17th year with the team, all eyes once again focus on him. His enduring presence in the league stands unmatched, adding another chapter to his storied career.
Once again, RCB has bolstered their batting lineup with a wealth of talent, featuring players like Cameron Green, Faf Du Plessis, Glenn Maxwell, and Rajat Patidar.
Kicking off the season with a bang, RCB will take the spotlight in the tournament opener on Friday, March 22, going head-to-head against their infamous rivals, the Chennai Super Kings, at Chepauk in Chennai.
Fans couldn’t contain their excitement as Virat Kohli gears up to make his return to the field later this week.
