Virat Kohli was spotted at Mumbai's Kalina private airport on Tuesday, October 20, as the Indian cricket calendar moved into the next major assignment: the New Zealand tour.
Images and video from the airport showed the former India captain posing for photographers before the tour. Kohli remains part of India's ODI plans, making his movements closely followed by fans even between matches.
A new tour, another ODI chapter
India's New Zealand trip begins with a five-match T20I series on October 22, followed by five ODIs and two Tests. Kohli is part of the ODI group, so the New Zealand leg will be another important chapter in his continuing one-day career.
Why RCB fans are watching
For RCB supporters, Kohli's every India appearance still carries a familiar level of attention. His return to the road ahead of the New Zealand assignment also keeps the spotlight on how the veteran batter manages the schedule between international and franchise cricket.
