Virat Kohli Spotted Wearing Rakhi at Delhi Airport Ahead of Raksha Bandhan
Virat Kohli was seen at Delhi airport with a rakhi tied around his wrist ahead of Raksha Bandhan on August 28, accompanied by his wife, Anushka Sharma. The festival celebrates sibling bonds, traditionally marked by sisters tying a sacred thread on brothers' wrists. While the identity of who tied Kohli's rakhi was not confirmed, the sighting attracted fan attention. Kohli, who retired from T20I cricket in 2024, is expected to return for India's ODI series against the West Indies in late September.
