Team India's Hotel Changed, Virat Kohli Not Staying With Teammates Ahead Of Delhi Test: Report

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.

Due to the G20 Summit and the wedding season, which resulted in a dearth of large blocks of five-star hotel rooms being reserved, Team India abruptly shifted their hotel in Delhi ahead of the second Test against Australia. The second Test of the series will be held in Delhi's Arun Jaitley Stadium from February 17 to 21. Delhi is hosting its first Test since December 2017. India have 1-0 lead in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series.

The Indian cricket team usually stays at Taj Palace or ITC Maurya in Delhi, but this time, they are staying in Hotel Leela in Karkarduma, according to the sources.

"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 ANI.
