Bengaluru: Royal Challengers Bangalore’s famous star Virat Kohli reached Bengaluru ahead of the upcoming season of the Indian Premier League and RCB’s Unbox event. India and RCB’s ace batsman Kohli has been with the franchise since the beginning of the IPL and has led the team from the front for nine years.
RCB announced Kohli’s arrival on Instagram and captioned it, “A lot is happening very fast and we are not slowing down. Is he here?”
On Sunday night, he was seen at the Mumbai airport as he was to catch a flight to Bangalore to join his team for the upcoming IPL 2024 match. He was seen wearing his stunning white T-shirt which featured a large illustration. A cute cartoon character and the word ‘Dad’ written on it.
Kohli, who missed India’s 4-1 Test series win over England, recently welcomed a baby boy, named Akay. In 237 matches for RCB in the IPL, Kohli has scored 7,263 runs at an average of 37.2 and a strike rate of 130.0 and is the leading run-scorer in the history of the competition.
His best score of 113 was against Punjab Kings in 2016 which took RCB to a massive score of 211/3. Kohli is yet to lift an IPL trophy with RCB in the last 16 seasons and will be looking to clinch a maiden title in the upcoming edition.
RCB strengthened their squad in the IPL 2024 auction by acquiring the services of foreign and Indian talents, which include Alzarri Joseph, Yash Dayal, Tom Curran, Lockie Ferguson, Swapnil Singh and Sourav Chauhan.
RCB will begin their campaign in the season opener against Chennai Super Kings at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Friday.
