In between, Pakistan has condemned the attacks, which were carried in Sri Lanka. They want to stay on the Lanka side and help them get back to the normal during the tough times.
On the work front, Virat Kohli is currently involved with Royal Challengers Bangalore, leading the team in Indian Premier League 2019. They started the tournament on a poor note, losing 7 out of their 9 games.
They are currently walking on a block of thin ice, as the loss in at least one game would be an end card for their campaign in the tournament. In the next game, they will take on Chennai Super Kings back home.
