WTC Final 2023: “Kohli going to France to attend Cannes” fans flood Instagram speculating about the former Captain’s delay to London for WTC Final
The video went viral in no time, and one of the fans wrote, “Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma leave for London.” Reacting to the post, a fan wrote, “I think they are leaving for the Cannes festival, not London.” While another fan wrote, “No they are leaving for WTC final to London.”
For the unversed, Kohli did not leave with the first batch of players to London along with head coach Rahul Dravid. At that time, the majority of fans felt the former India captain is taking a break.
However, by the looks of it, Kohli’s delay to London for the summit clash might be due to his presence in the Cannes film festival in France. Anushka will be making her debut at Cannes to honor women in cinema. The Actress will be joined by Kate Winslet. Recently, Anushka and Virat also met France’s ambassador to India, Emmanuel Lenin at the French Embassy in New Delhi.
The ambassador shared the post on social media indicating Anushka’s likely visit to Cannes Film Festival. Meanwhile, WTC Final will be played on June 7 to 11 at the Oval in England. Kohli is set to join the squad soon.
