Virat Kohli back in India, ready for IPL 2024 with RCB team

Cricket fans rejoice! Virat Kohli returned to India early Sunday morning after a two-month paternity leave. This paves the way for his much-anticipated rejoin with his franchise, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), for the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 season.

Kohli, fondly known as King Kohli by his fans, missed the recent England Test series to be with his wife Anushka Sharma for the birth of their second child in London. Now, he’s gearing up to hit the ground running by joining RCB’s pre-season training camp. This comes just five days before their crucial opening encounter against the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on March 22nd.

Major Boost for RCB

Kohli’s presence in the RCB lineup is a major boost for their title aspirations. Last season, despite RCB’s exit in the league stage, Kohli had a phenomenal individual performance, scoring an impressive 639 runs in 14 matches with two centuries and a stellar strike rate of 139.82. These stats speak volumes about his form, and fans are eager to see him pick up where he left off and lead RCB to a successful IPL 2024 campaign.
