Former Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) captain and senior batter Virat Kohli has sported a fresh look ahead of the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 season.

Kohli represented Team India in the Test and ODI series against Australia, which concluded on Wednesday in Chennai. He was India's leading run-scorer in the four-match Test series by accumulating 297 runs at an average of 49.50 and played a crucial role in a 2-1 series win.

The stalwart will now shift his focus towards IPL 2023, which will commence on March 31. Virat Kohli took to his official Instagram handle on Thursday and gave his ardent fans a glimpse of a brand new look going into the IPL by sharing a photo of himself in the story.
