In a viral video, Indian batter Virat Kohli was seen stopping security personnel and signing an autograph for an RCB fan waiting in a queue before departing from Delhi airport to Australia. The moment, caught on camera, highlights the cricketing superstar’s deep connection with his supporters.

The Indian team departed for their upcoming white-ball tour of Australia, scheduled to begin on October 19.

The Heartfelt Moment

As the team boarded the bus to head for the T3 airport, Kohli, who was seated inside, spotted a little RCB fan amid the crowd outside the team hotel. The 36-year-old cricketer, as seen in the viral video, immediately stopped the security standing outside and asked him to fetch the 'Kohli' poster that the boy was holding.

Kohli autographed it and handed it over to the fan, who was wearing an RCB jersey. The young fan was seen posing in front of the bus, with Kohli seated behind, for a picture.

The entire moment went viral on social media.

Eyes were on Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma as the fans gathered in thousands at the airport to get a glimpse of their favorite stars, who returned to the Indian side for the first time since the Champions Trophy 2025 final.

India vs Australia Series

The Shubman Gill-led ODI squad, including Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, will land in Perth, which will host the first ODI match on October 19. The second and third ODIs will be played on October 23 and 25 in Adelaide and Sydney, respectively. This will be followed by a five-match T20I contest, which will be played from October 29 to November 8.

Kohli’s Return to International Cricket

Kohli had returned to India after four months, as he landed in Delhi on Tuesday. Following the conclusion of IPL 2025, he left for London with his family, where he resumed training after a few weeks of rest. He had also undergone a mandatory pre-season fitness test in London.

The upcoming Australia series will mark the return of two veterans, Kohli and Rohit, who earlier retired from Test cricket in May. 

However, both head coach Gautam Gambhir and chief selector Ajit Agarkar refused to commit their presence in the “scheme of things” for the ODI World Cup in 2017, yet.

The BCCI and the team management are reportedly on the same page regarding the future of both the senior batters in ODI cricket.

Virat Kohli is expected to stay longer in India as he might feature in a few Vijay Hazare Trophy games. Meanwhile, the BCCI has mandated playing domestic cricket for players aspiring to be seen in the national jersey.
