Virat Kohli has returned to India ahead of the upcoming ODI series against South Africa. Having moved to London in 2024, the former India captain typically begins his training for both home and overseas tours in England before joining Team India a couple of days prior to the start of a series.

Kohli has now arrived in Mumbai for the three-match ODI series beginning on November 30 in Ranchi. It remains to be seen whether he will head directly to Ranchi or stop at the Centre of Excellence (CoE) in Bengaluru for a short training session before linking up with the squad.
