Virat Kohli spotted in London following Sri Lanka ODI series
Indian cricket team's star batter, Virat Kohli, was recently seen in London. This public appearance comes after his participation in the One Day International (ODI) series against Sri Lanka. A video clip of Kohli crossing a street in the UK capital has been widely circulated on social media platforms. The cricketer had previously visited London after India's victory at the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. Here are further details.
Kohli's performance in the ODI series against Sri Lanka
Kohli's performance in the recent ODI series against Sri Lanka was not up to his usual standards. He managed to score only 58 runs across three matches, averaging a mere 19.33. He scored 24, 14 and 20 as India suffered a 2-0 defeat versus the hosts. Despite this setback, Kohli remains one of the most celebrated figures in international cricket with numerous records to his name.
Kohli's previous visit to London post T20 World Cup victory
Kohli had previously visited London after India's triumphant campaign at the T20 World Cup 2024. During that visit, he was accompanied by his wife Anushka Sharma and their newborn son Akaay. The couple was photographed attending a kirtan at Union Chapel in London, marking one of their few public appearances since the birth of their second child.
Bumrah's potential return and India's pace attack strategy
In other cricket news, Jasprit Bumrah is anticipated to return for the three-Test series against New Zealand starting October 16. This follows a break after India's T20 World Cup victory. However, he may continue to rest during the two Tests against Bangladesh in September. The Indian team management and selectors are considering introducing more variations into the pace attack, possibly including a left-arm seam and swing bowler.
