In recent news, Virat Kohli, the star Indian batsman, is poised to rejoin the national team ahead of the highly anticipated ODI World Cup 2023. Kohli had temporarily stepped away from the squad due to personal reasons but is now prepared to make his comeback.

Kohli’s departure from the Indian camp had prompted questions and speculation. However, sources within the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) have provided clarification. According to a BCCI spokesperson, Kohli had sought permission from both the board and the team management to address a personal matter in Mumbai. This statement puts an end to any doubts concerning his absence from the squad.

The spokesperson further stated, “He will be joining us later in the evening and will be traveling with the team to Chennai tomorrow,” as reported by Cricbuzz, offering reassurance to fans.

Kohli’s absence would have meant missing the second warm-up match against the Netherlands, initially scheduled at the Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram. However, unfavorable weather conditions led to the cancellation of the game.

Recent reports from Cricbuzz indicate that Kohli departed the team to fly to Mumbai from Guwahati, where India was supposed to play their first practice game against England. Unfortunately, rain disrupted those plans, resulting in the cancellation of the match.

It has been disclosed that Kohli has a significant commitment with the International Cricket Council (ICC), the governing body of world cricket. He is expected to attend this commitment before heading to Chennai, where India is set to play their opening match against Australia.

The customary captains’ photo session ahead of the World Cup is scheduled to take place in Ahmedabad on Wednesday, with all the captains expected to arrive in the city by tonight. Cricket fans are eagerly counting down the days until the World Cup which will be held in Ahmedabad on Thursday, October 5. The Indian team will begin their World Cup journey on October 8 against Australia.
