Former Royal Challengers Bangalore captain Virat Kohli has checked into the team’s bio-bubble ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 season.
The entire league phase of IPL 2022 is being held in Maharashtra due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
Mumbai is Kohli’s second home and it is the city where the former India captain lives these days with his wife and Bollywood star Anushka Sharma and daughter Vamika.
Kohli revealed that it was difficult for him to stay at the team hotel just 20 minutes away from his actual home in Mumbai.
Kohli will spend the next two months within the bounds of the bio-bubble and said he misses being only a few miles away from home.

But it is what it is. All you have to do is go through all the shows you are left with, catch a few shows, read a book you are still reading and do a lot of video calls at home.
The former RCB captain also shared his first thoughts on a glorious 15 years with the franchise, saying, “Wow, 15! It is quite unbelievable that IPL has come this far.
I have new energy as I am away from a lot of responsibilities and duties. And life is in a very good place. Now we have a child; We have a family. For me, it’s going about life with great joy and happiness and just watching our baby grow. Just doing what I love, which is playing cricket.
“My focus is so clear now, and it’s so precise what I want to do. I just want to have a lot of fun and enjoy myself on the field.
And give yourself completely to this team and this franchise like I have for so many years and without any weight. I am all set,” he said.
