Virat Kohli global icon

A massive crowd, including students and faculty, was waiting outside the institute to get a glimpse of Kohli. The police in charge of security had a tough time stopping the fans. Even the police were seen clicking photos with the 34-year-old batter. There were also chants of “RCB, RCB” in between the “Kohli, Kohli” chants.

After clicking a few pictures with the fans, Kohli then left the institute before joining his teammates. The Indian superstar is closely associated with Bengaluru as the part he has been an integral part of Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the Indian Premier League (IPL).

The Men in Blue will be training in Bengaluru's NCA over the next six days before heading to Sri Lanka for the Asia Cup 2023. Their campaign is starting on September 2, against arch-rivals Pakistan. India will embark on a mission to first win the Asia Cup and then the World Cup later this year.

Rohit Sharma and Co will be hoping to defeat Pakistan in the opening match and have a perfect start to the tournament. India will face Nepal in the other group-stage match on September 4 at the same venue. This also be a preparation before the World Cup. The Blues have yet to win cricket's most prestigious tournament, since 2011. The Delhi-born batter is expected to play a crucial role for India in the upcoming Asian tournament.
