Star batsman Virat Kohli had been away from India for quite some time due to personal reasons, skipping the five-match Test series against England. Yesterday, accompanied by his wife Anushka and their two children Vamika and Akaiya, he returned to his homeland.
There had been speculation about Kohli’s participation in the IPL from the beginning. Even murmurs arose about his absence from the upcoming T20 World Cup Indian squad. Though he will grace the IPL arena, this time representing Royal Challengers Bangalore, his longest stint in limited-overs cricket.
Moreover, a video of Kohli’s arrival at Mumbai airport went viral on social media. It’s been said that he is preparing to join the national team’s camp. Chennai Super Kings will face Bangalore in the IPL opener on March 22nd, where Kohli will be seen in action. With little time in hand, especially after spending some time away from cricket, he will be fully invested in enhancing his personal performance. It’s a consistent ritual for Kohli to invest deeply in his personal performance before every series or tournament.
