Virat Kohli and Kuldeep Yadav Seek Blessings at Mahakaleshwar Temple Ahead of Series Decider

Royal Challengers Bangalore star Virat Kohli and teammate Kuldeep Yadav took a moment away from the high-pressure environment of international cricket to visit the Shree Mahakaleshwar Temple in Ujjain. The duo participated in the legendary Bhasma Aarti at dawn on Saturday, January 17, seeking spiritual solace ahead of the crucial series decider against New Zealand.

Kohli, dressed in traditional attire, was observed sitting quietly in the Nandi Hall, a stark contrast to his aggressive on-field persona. This spiritual retreat highlights the human side of the champion athlete, who has increasingly spoken about how spirituality helps him manage the intense demands of his career.

The visit follows a similar pilgrimage made by Head Coach Gautam Gambhir and KL Rahul just a day earlier, underscoring the team's focus on finding inner strength as they prepare for major upcoming challenges, including the T20 World Cup.
