Former Indian cricket captain Virat Kohli has reached Ranchi, the hometown of legendary cricketer Mahendra Singh Dhoni, ahead of India’s upcoming ODI series against South Africa. The first ODI will be played on 30 November at the JSCA International Cricket Stadium. Fans gathered in large numbers to catch a glimpse of the star batsman, creating an electric atmosphere.
Warm Welcome for Kohli
Kohli received a grand reception upon his arrival in Ranchi. Security was tight with a substantial police presence at the airport, as fans thronged to welcome the cricketing icon. Former Indian batsman Saurabh Tiwari was also spotted with Kohli. Tiwari, who played domestic cricket for Jharkhand, was part of the 2008 Under-19 World Cup-winning team alongside Kohli.
Expectations from Kohli’s Bat
This series marks Kohli’s return to the field after the Australia tour. He recently returned from London, where he spent some time after the tour. Kohli had a slow start in Australia, failing to score in the first two ODIs. However, he bounced back with a 74-run unbeaten knock off 81 balls in the third match, helping India secure a 9-wicket victory alongside Rohit Sharma’s century. Fans will be hoping for more stellar performances from the star batsman in the upcoming series.
