Virat Kohli had a Rakhi tied; his sister shared a photo
The festival of Raksha Bandhan is being celebrated in India on Friday (August 28). Sisters are tying *rakhis* on their brothers' wrists. 'King of Cricket' Virat Kohli also participated in this sibling festival; he had a rakhi tied by his sister, Bhawna Kohli. Bhawna shared a photo on her Instagram story showing her tying the rakhi on Virat's wrist, accompanied by a lovely caption.
The photo shared by Bhawna is rapidly going viral on social media. The image shows only Kohli's wrist and the tattoo on his hand. In the accompanying caption, Bhawna Kohli Dhingra wrote, 'Wherever life takes us, my prayers will always reach you.'
Did Kohli get the Rakhi tied a day early?
It appears that Kohli had the Rakhi tied a day in advance, as he was spotted at the airport on Thursday (August 27) with a Rakhi visible on his wrist. However, his sister shared the photo on the day of Raksha Bandhan itself.
When will Virat Kohli play his next match for Team India?
Virat Kohli is available for India only in the ODI format; he has retired from Test and T20 International cricket. Team India is scheduled to play its next ODI series against the West Indies in September-October. This three-match series, to be played on home soil, will begin on September 27. The second ODI will take place on September 30, and the third and final match will be played on October 3.
It is highly likely that Kohli will play in this series. The Indian squad for the series has not yet been selected. Kohli played his last ODI series for India against England in July; across the three matches, he scored 05, 65, and 74 runs, respectively. Currently, Kohli is fit, so his participation in the upcoming series is certain.
