After scoring a sublime 95 against New Zealand at Dharamshala, Virat Kohli completely relaxed himself, by taking a dip in the pool. The right-hand batter shared a story on Instagram, enjoying his day off by chilling in the pool. India has a seven-day break before they take on England on Sunday (October 29). While few of the players have left the scenic Dharamshala, Kohli is set to extend his stay in the mountains location.
While it is still not whether Kohli will stay in Dharamshala, but according to reports by InsideSport, the former India captain, Jasprit Bumrah, Rohit Sharma, & KL Rahul have left the camp to meet the family. With the majority of the above players not getting any break since the Asia Cup, BCCI have decided to give senior players some rest before the second half of the World Cup.
Under the condition of anonymity, a BCCI source had told PTI earlier that: “It is only fair that players get some time with their families since there is a seven-day gap between the two matches.”
