Virat Kohli recently paid a short visit to his family in Delhi as he joined them in the National Capital before flying to Australia for the ODI series on October 19.
After Virat Kohli left for Australia with the Indian Cricket Team, the former Indian captain was inundated with reports that he had given his general power of attorney to his elder brother Vikas Kohli at his old Gurugram residence. Several media reports claimed that Kohli and his wife Anushka Sharma decided to move to England permanently.
