Former India captain Virat Kohli reached Bengaluru on Thursday ahead of the national squad’s six-day training camp in the city.
But before his professional assignment with Team India, Kohli had to fulfill an off-field committment and was spotted at the Atria Institute Of Technology regarding this.
Kohli was seen entering the Institute amid heavy security even as fans cheered for the Indian cricket star who is also the adopted son of Bengaluru thanks to his association with the Royal Challengers Bangalore in the Indian Premier League.
Kohli received a deafening cheer from the waiting fans and students outside the Institute. There were also chants of “RCB, RCB” in between the “Kohli, Kohli” chants.
He was earlier seen evading the paparazzi at the Mumbai Airport as they wanted to click selfies with the star batter.
Kohli was getting late for his flight to Bengaluru and after clicking a couple of selfies with the paps, he managed to trick them and quickly get inside the Airport terminal to catch the plane.
