Virat Kohli and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) enjoyed a day out in New Delhi on Wendesday prior to Royal Challengers Bangalore's IPL 2023 contest against Delhi Capitals on May 6. The former RCB skipper shared a picture of the couple's outing from the city which also happens to be the cricketer's hometown.
Recently, Kohli had been at the centre of a controversy when he got into an intense verbal exchange with Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) team mentor Gautam Gambhir. The incident happened moments after RCB's 18-run win at the Ekana Stadium, Lucknow on May 1 (Monday). Both Gambhir and Kohli were docked 100 per cent of their match fees with Naveen-ul-Haq with whom Kohli had a face off earlier in the match also being fined 50 per cent of his match fees.
Away from the on-field action and with the next match still some distance away, Kohli used this time to have an outing with his wife who has been on the road with him this season and was spotted at the stands even during RCB's last match.
"Out and about in delhi @AnushkaSharma," Kohli captioned the picture.
