Will Virat Kohli Meet Maharaj Premanand Ji?
Although it is possible that Kohli want the guru to bless him, it might have an effect on the logistics. The Indian cricket team is concentrated within Delhi in terms of the ODI series and Vrindavan is some three hour drive away. The training programs, meetings with his team, and preparation of matches can leave Kohli little time to visit, he can pay to personal spiritual visits. However, his past visits reveal that he takes time to attend to such activities when they are personally relevant. In the past, Kohli had been known to resort to spiritual advice in times of crucial turning points in his career to get clarity and inspiration. A visit to Premanand Ji Maharaj would be a spiritual revitalization and time to reflect before entering the field in the Australia ODIs which have already generated a lot of expectations and media attention.
