Star batter Virat Kohli left Team India's hotel in London shortly after arriving with the squad for the upcoming ODI series decider against England. The Men in Blue arrived in the city on Friday, July 17.

A video circulated on social media, in which the Indian players can be seen getting out of the bus and entering the hotel. However, Kohli did not join them and had a car waiting for him.

He sat in the car and left the team hotel separately. The 37-year-old may have been headed to his residence in the city. The former India captain reportedly moved to London with his wife, Anushka Sharma, and their two children in early 2024.

The ongoing three-match series marked Virat Kohli's return to international cricket. He was ruled out of India's three-match home ODI series last month due to a hamstring injury.

The ace batter was dismissed for five off six balls in the opening encounter against England. However, he bounced back with a fantastic half-century in the subsequent fixture, scoring 65 off 66 deliveries.

Former India wicketkeeper and selector Saba Karim remarked that Virat Kohli needed one match to get into rhythm. He highlighted that playing just one format in international cricket can be tough for players.

However, Karim opined that Kohli got out at the wrong time in the second ODI and should have capitalized and got a big score. He told Sony Sports Network:

India and England will lock horns in the final ODI of the series at Lord's in London on Sunday, July 19.
