Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma Trigger Fan Frenzy At Delhi Airport As India Stars Depart For Australia Tour
India cricket fans were treated to an electrifying atmosphere at Delhi Airport on Wednesday as batting giants Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma departed for the much-anticipated Australia tour. The Indian team is set to play eight white-ball matches, including three ODIs and five T20Is, and the excitement among supporters was palpable.
Kohli, who recently returned to Delhi from London where he had been spending time with his family, and Rohit, who arrived from Mumbai, were the center of attention. Fans gathered in large numbers, capturing photos, cheering, and waving as the duo made their way to the boarding gates, creating a moment of pure cricketing fervor.
The majority of the touring squad was already in Delhi, including newly appointed ODI captain Shubman Gill, who joined the team after the recently concluded second Test against the West Indies. The inclusion of Kohli and Rohit for the ODIs only heightened anticipation, as both legends have opted out of other formats to focus on the 50-over game.

This tour will mark the first competitive appearance for the duo since IPL 2025, following their last international outing during the Champions Trophy final in March. Fans are eager to see the two superstars back in action, especially given their enduring impact on India’s batting lineup.
Questions about the ODI future of Kohli and Rohit continue to swirl, with speculations fueled by their ages—Rohit will be 40 and Kohli 38 by the next World Cup. India’s head coach Gautam Gambhir, however, remained non-committal regarding their plans for the 2027 tournament.
“Look, the 50-over World Cup is still two-and-a-half years away, and it is very important to stay in the present,” Gambhir said on Tuesday. “They are quality players, their experience will be valuable in Australia, and hopefully, both will have a successful tour while the team achieves overall success.”
For Indian cricket fans, the sight of Kohli and Rohit leaving for Australia served as a reminder of the duo’s unmatched charisma and skill. The first ODI of the series is scheduled for this Sunday, and excitement is already building across social media and cricketing communities nationwide.
As India gears up for a challenging tour down under, the leadership and experience of Kohli and Rohit in the ODI format could prove decisive. Their presence alone has sparked discussions, predictions, and enthusiasm, showing that even after years at the top, they continue to command massive fan attention.
The fan frenzy at Delhi Airport also underscores the deep emotional connection cricket holds in India. Supporters are not just cheering for players; they are celebrating the legacy, talent, and the thrill that legends like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma bring to the game, making every departure a momentous occasion.
This tour will not only test the Indian team’s abilities in challenging Australian conditions but also offer a platform for the returning superstars to demonstrate why they remain central figures in the ODI format. With fans eagerly watching, every run, boundary, and performance will be scrutinized and celebrated, setting the stage for an exciting series ahead.
