Hello Dubai

Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) captain Virat Kohli surprised his fans by sharing his first pic from Dubai on Friday evening. He wasn't seen in any of the social media posts by RCB and the fans were correct when they speculated that Kohli didn't travel with the other members of the team. Just a few minutes after RCB's players landed in UAE, Kohli shared a post from Dubai and confirmed that he has landed for IPL 2020. As per a report in Mumbai Mirror, Kohli boarded a private chartered plane due to bio-safety issues. He was in self-isolation back home for nearly five months and did not want to risk himself by travelling to Bengaluru. Mumbai is one of the worst-hit cities with COVID-19. “He had quarantined himself in Mumbai and also tested himself for Covid-19. So he could not come to Bangalore. He flew alone by a charter flight from Mumbai,” a spokesperson was quoted as saying by Mumbai Mirror. Of course, he took COVID-19 tests before flying to Dubai.
