“This time team is staying in a different hotel which is in another part of
Delhi, the hotel is in Karkarduma as we didn’t get a stay in ITC Maurya or
Taj. This happen because of the heavy wedding season and G20,” a source
told.
Former India captain Virat Kohli isn’t staying with the team. Kohli, whose
family members reside in Delhi, decided to spend some quality time with his
family for a few days at his house in Gurugram.
While India posted 400 runs in the first innings of the opening Test match
against Australia, Kohli struggled mightily with the bat, scoring just 12
runs off of 26 balls.
