Indian batting Virat Kohli was spotted practising for the upcoming Indian Premier League 2024 season. Kohli was on an extended break and missed the five-match Test series against England in India as he and his wife, Bollywood star Anushka Sharma welcomed a baby boy named Akaay into this world. 

Since the birth of his second child, Kohli returned to India over the last few days and joined the RCB pre-season camp on March 18. Last night, Virat Kohli also video-called the RCB women's team, who ended the franchise's 16-year trophy draught to win the Women's Premier League against the Delhi Capitals.

Hope all the fans are excited and happy as well: Virat Kohli

Speaking about his return to RCB, Kohli expressed excitement about playing one for the die-hard Bengaluru fans. Kohli said,  “It’s really good to be back, firstly playing cricket and just starting off the IPL. Always exciting to come back to Bangalore for the start of the IPL season."

"So similar emotions, similar feelings and I haven’t been off the media radar. I have been into the normalcy, you can say for 2 months. So, yeah, I am pretty happy and excited to be back and I hope all the fans are excited and happy as well," he continued.
