Virat Kohli, who recently made a return to Test cricket after featuring in India's 1st Test against Bangladesh at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, was spotted at the Delhi airport after the hosts wrapped up the first game inside four days. Kohli was not along as Team India head coach Gautam Gambhir was also spotted at the Delhi Aiport with both of them getting clicked with Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Mithilesh Kumar Katheria.
The politician himself took to microblogging website X to share pictures of himself with Kohli and Gambhir. He congratulated the two on India's win in Chennai which has given them a 1-0 lead in the two-match series.

Kohli has had a poor run in home Test matches and would like to end that with a big score in hundred moving ahead with 9 more Tests scheduled in the season for Rohit Sharma & Co. The home series against Bangladesh for Team India is also the first red-ball assignment for head coach Gautam Gambhir.
