Virat Kohli made his first public appearance after the birth of his son. In a video shared by RCB, Kohli said, “I’s really good to be back, firstly playing cricket and just starting off the IPL. So similar emotions, similar feelings and I haven’t been off the media radar”. The MRF Ace of Pace talent hunt programme held trials for nearly 2,500 pacers across four cities following which three bowlers were inducted into the academy.
