Indian star batter Virat Kohli has sent the internet into a frenzy after posting training session photos ahead of the ODI series against New Zealand in Vadodara.

The former Indian captain posted three photos; breaking a three-year streak of avoiding such posts. The latest update marks a significant departure from his usual commercial content.

While “King Kohli” was once known for sharing gym workouts and training sessions that inspired millions, fans have missed that “spark” in recent years.

Lately, his Instagram has been restricted to brand endorsements and personal life updates with wife, Anushka Sharma. Consequently, many fans had expressed a desire to see their idol in “athletic persona.”

“Chiku” recently landed in Vadodara for the ODI series and immediately began his preparations. He was greeted by a massive crowd at the airport.

Beyond his social media activity, the 36-year-old recently marked a return to the domestic tournaments after a 16-year absence. He also surpassed the 16,000-run milestone in List A cricket leaving behind Sachin Tendulkar.

The “Chase Master” is now just 25 runs away from making history by becoming the fastest player to reach 28,000 international runs.
