India’s batting superstar Virat Kohli landed back on home soil early Tuesday morning as India gear up for the highly anticipated ODI series against Australia. Notably, Virat Kohli now lives in London with his wife, Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma, and their two children. As Kohli touched down in India, several pictures of him exiting the airport quickly went viral on social media.
Meanwhile, the series will begin on October 19 in Perth, marking the return of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma to the Indian setup. The duo, who have not played for India since their appearance in the ICC Champions Trophy earlier this year, will don the Indian jersey once again in the 50-over format. Both Rohit and Kohli have announced their retirement from both Test and T20I formats, shifting their focus entirely to ODIs.
The first ODI of the three-match series in Australia will be played at Optus Stadium in Perth on October 19, and the final two matches are scheduled to be held in Adelaide and Sydney on October 23 and 25, respectively. India will be led by young star Shubman Gill, who was recently appointed India's ODI captain, replacing Rohit Sharma.
