'Do I Look The Pooja-Paath Types': Virat Kohli's Old Video Resurfaces After His Rishikesh Ashram Visit- WATCH

Virat Kohli, along with his wife Anushka Sharma, paid a visit to the Swami Dayanand Ashram in Rishikesh recently.

His statement had come in response to this query.

Kohli set to return to cricketing action in Border-Gavaskar Trophy

The 34-year-old will be back in action for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy as India host Australia for four Test matches. Even though the run-machine is back to his best in limited-overs cricket, his struggles haven't diminished in the longest form of the game where he last scored a hundred in 2019.

With the result of the Test series against Australia also set to decide the finalists of the World Test Championship 2021-23, Kohli's form is going to be critical for the Men in Blue.

The remaining Tests are scheduled to be played in Delhi, Dharamshala and Ahmedabad respectively.
