Kohli has admitted in the past that he supports Chelsea and that has clearly won over some fans for the Indian skipper. In 2014, he was pictured at the Premier League club’s Stamford Bridge stadium.
Team India, in a bid for their third World Title, will commence their campaign against South Africa on June 5. The Kohli-led side are amongst the favourites and despite a bitter-sweet warm-up ahead of the tournament, they will look to fire on all cylinders once the campaign begins.
In their first World Cup war up outing against New Zealand, India lost against New Zealand by six wickets after a lowly display by the top-order batsman. The Men in Blue will now take on Bangladesh on 28 May in what will be a final outing ahead of the tournament.
