Indian cricket star Virat Kohli makes first appearance post-birth of son Akaay, gearing up for IPL 2024; T20 World Cup selection uncertainty looms.
FollowVirat Kohli has made his first public appearance since the birth of his son Akaay in London. Kohli, who had been absent from the recent five-match Test series against England due to personal reasons, was seen at the Mumbai airport, marking his return to India. The star batsman is expected to soon join the training camp of the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) as they gear up for the upcoming season of the Indian Premier League (IPL).
