Watch: Virat Kohli flies economy class, attempts to hide face with mask and cap

Talismanic Indian batter Virat Kohli was spotted travelling economy class while flying to Bengaluru. India’s final World Cup league stage game is scheduled to take place in the southern city where the hosts will face the Netherlands on Sunday.

In a video, which has now gone viral on social media, Kohli can be seen boarding an IndiGo flight. The star cricketer opted for an aisle seat and was seen interacting with a woman, sitting next to him on the flight.

The cricketer was seen donning a face mask, glasses, and a baseball cap, probably in an attempt to hide his identity. He boarded the flight and quickly occupied the premium economy seat while co-passengers rushed to record the superstar in their midst.

Having notched a record-equalling 49th century against South Africa, Kohli is now preparing for India’s final league-stage game at the World Cup.

Bengaluru holds a special place for Kohli. He has represented the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in all 16 seasons of the Indian Premier League (IPL).

As per multiple Indian media outlets, Kohli’s wife and Indian actor Anushka Sharma was also recently spotted at the Bengaluru airport. According to the reports, Anushka may very well be present at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru to cheer for her husband.

In a now-viral social media post, Anushka was seen donning an oversized white shirt paired with shorts and sneakers while making her way outside the airport in Bengaluru. India’s game against the Netherlands coincides with Diwali celebrations.

Kohli turned 35 last Sunday and he marked the occasion with a sublime World Cup ton against South Africa at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. With this, Kohli succeeded in matching legendary India cricketer Sachin Tendulkar’s all-time record of 49 ODI centuries.
