Ace India batter Virat Kohli was seen attending American vocalist Krishna Das' kirtan session with wife and Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma in Mumbai three days ahead of the second Test against New Zealand in Pune. He is coming on the back of India's eight-wicket thrashing at the hands of the Kiwis in Bengaluru, one of his favourite cities across the country.

In the second innings on Day 3 of the opening Test against Tom Latham's men, India did threaten to come back, which was sparked by a counter-attacking partnership of 136 runs by Kohli and Sarfaraz Khan.

Both were dismissed for a duck in the first innings, but they bounced back with their respective half-centuries on the third evening, before Kohli was dismissed on the final delivery of the day for 70. Now, ahead of the Pune Test which starts on October 24, he was seen attending a kirtan session.

The next Test is scheduled to be played in Pune, a venue that hasn't seen a lot of international red-ball cricket being played. India faced Australia at the venue in February 2017 but lost the match by a whopping 333 runs. India came back stronger to win the four-match Test series 2-1.

In the other encounter in Pune, India faced South Africa in October 2019 and won the game by an innings and 137 runs. India whitewashed the visitors 3-0 in the series.

Notably, this match saw Kohli score an unbeaten 254, one of his seven double-hundreds in the longest format. When India face New Zealand in the second Test, all eyes will again be on him to see if he can finally score his 30th Test hundred, which has been due for over a year now.

Kohli's last Test hundred was against the Windies in July last year at the Port of Spain.
