Let me tell you, Virat Kohli has returned home after the ODI series on the West Indies tour. After resting for a few days here, he will fly to Sri Lanka for the Asia Cup 2023 with the team.
Virat Kohli tweeted, ‘While I am grateful and indebted to all that I’ve received in life, the news that has been making rounds about my social media earnings is untrue.’
