Delightful Double Dose of Joy for RCB Fans
At the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) fans were greeted with a double dose of joy as Indian cricket captain Virat Kohli rejoined the team for the pre-season camp. The atmosphere was electrifying following the franchise’s recent triumph in the Women’s Premier League in New Delhi. Kohli’s presence at the iconic venue in Garden City added an extra layer of excitement for both fans and players alike.
Royal Challengers Bangalore welcomed Virat Kohli to their pre-season camp and shared the news on social media with a post that read, “Daddy’s Home and he is ready to reign again! Virat Kohli checked in to Namma Bengaluru, and we can’t keep calm. Happy.” In response, Kohli expressed his excitement about returning to play for RCB and said, “It’s really good to be back, firstly, playing cricket and just starting off the IPL. Always excited to come back to Bangalore for the start of the IPL season. Similar emotions, similar feelings. I haven’t been off the media radar. I am pretty excited and I hope all the fans are excited as well,” in a video.
It is important to note that Kohli was absent from all action since the T20I series against Afghanistan, and he missed the five-Test series against England as he and his wife Anushka Sharma welcomed their baby boy, Akaay. Throughout this period, Kohli remained away from the spotlight and was in London, returning to India only on Sunday (March 17) as he was spotted at the Mumbai airport.
RCB, who have never won the IPL, will begin their campaign against reigning champions Chennai Super Kings in Chennai on Friday, and Kohli’s arrival is sure to have boosted the morale of the dressing room.
