Virat Kohli to return to the field in IPL 2021
After leading the Indian side to victory in all three formats against England, Virat Kohli decided to take a break of 2-3 days and returned to his home Mumbai. Thus, according to the protocols made by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), Kohli is serving his mandatory quarantine period before he will be allowed to join his franchise Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in their training and practice session.
RCB had a decent run in the 13th edition of the T20 Extravaganza, hosted in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), as after a series of bad seasons, they finally managed to make it to the top 4 by winning seven out of 14 league games played. However, the team had to face defeat in the Elimination round against Sunrisers Hyderabad and was thus ruled out of the elite tournament.
Meanwhile, the franchise will be looking forward to putting their best foot forward in IPL 2021 and win their maiden IPL trophy.
