Kohli’s return to International cricket
Kohli returned to India on Sunday after being away for the birth of his second child. As part of his warm-up, the former captain of India and the RCB was spotted walking about the Chinnaswamy Stadium. Skipper Faf du Plessis also attended the session.
He also congratulated the RCB women's squad on video call after they defeated the Delhi Capitals to win the Women's Premier League title.
RCB, who has never won the IPL, takes on the defending champion Chennai Super Kings on Friday in Chennai to start their season. Since the competition takes place before the T20 World Cup in the USA and the Caribbean, Kohli's performance in the lucrative T20 league will be watched carefully.
Due to family obligations, Kohli was also unable to play in the five-match home Test series against England. The legendary batsman amassed 639 runs in the previous IPL season, including two hundred and six half-centuries.
