Before the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, Indian batsman Virat Kohli is scheduled to report to the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) pre-season training. The batter is expected to join the club before March 17, according to reports that were received by India today. Before the team's yearly Unbox promotional event on March 19 at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, Virat Kohli will be attending the RCB camp. He will be joining the club before their journey to Chennai for the opening match on March 22 against CSK.
Ahead of the IPL 2024 season opening, which takes place in Chennai on March 22 against the reigning champion Chennai Super Kings, Virat Kohli will be eager to put in the hard work.
Since withdrawing from the five-match T20I series against Afghanistan in January to be with his wife Anushka Sharma at the birth of their second kid, Akaay, Kohli has not played in a competitive cricket match.
Virat Kohli will also make his competitive cricket comeback in the IPL 2024, having been out of the game for two and a half months. 
The last time we saw him in action was during the T20I series with Afghanistan. In addition to playing in the three-match series, he made his T20I comeback following the 2022 T20 World Cup.
RCB kick-starts their preparations without Virat Kohli
Ahead of the 2024 Indian Premier League (IPL) season, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) have begun their pre-tournament camp in an attempt to win their first-ever title.

The Former Indian team captain has not returned to India. In the meanwhile, PTI has been informed by a BCCI source who is closely monitoring the proceedings that Kohli will be joining the squad in the next few days, particularly before the RCB Unbox event scheduled for March 19.
