Virat Kohli, though freshly retired from Test cricket, welcomed India’s new Test captain Shubman Gill, vice‑captain Rishabh Pant, Mohammed Siraj and others to his London home on June 16. With India beginning a five‑match Test series in England on June 20 at Headingley, Kohli hosted them on an off‑day following Kent’s intra‑squad match. The two‑hour meeting, captured via RevSportz, appears to be a morale‑boosting session ahead of the series. Gill, succeeding Rohit Sharma, embarks on his first Test captaincy in red‑ball cricket. Meanwhile, English great James Anderson praised Kohli’s competitiveness, noting his improved technique since their early battles. (PC: BCCI)
