Kohli has arrived in Auckland for the five-match ODI series between India and New Zealand. Several videos showing his exit from the airport have gone viral on social media, capturing the excitement among fans.
Seeing the growing enthusiasm and crowd around him, Kohli gestured with his hands and asked fans to remain calm. Meanwhile, a female fan continued requesting his autograph. Kohli initially signalled to her to stay calm as the crowd continued to gather. Security personnel also had to assist in escorting him safely out of the airport.
Some fans were carrying posters wishing Kohli in advance on his birthday, which falls on November 5. Their presence added to the excitement surrounding the Indian batter's arrival in New Zealand.
Kohli joins the Indian team after an impressive performance in the recently played home ODI series against the West Indies. In the first ODI against the West Indies, he scored an unbeaten 139 off 88 deliveries. With this innings, he also became the second batter after Sachin Tendulkar to complete 15,000 runs in ODI cricket.
Kohli also has an impressive record in New Zealand. He has scored 596 runs in 13 innings on New Zealand soil, including one century and four half-centuries.
The five-match ODI series between India and New Zealand will begin on November 4, with the opening match scheduled to be played at Eden Park in Auckland. Indian fans will now be hoping that Kohli continues his impressive batting form and delivers another strong performance on New Zealand soil.
