Virat Kohli-led RCB’s extravagant place of stay ahead of IPL 2020
Virat Kohli, along with the rest of the RCB squad, is now expected to adhere to the social distancing and quarantine norms as imposed by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). The board recently announced several biosecurity measures for player safety against the coronavirus pandemic and its contagious nature. One of the aforementioned norms stated that all IPL 2020 franchises should select a separate hotel from other franchises for their players. To spend their initial days in Dubai, the entire RCB squad is currently staying at the Waldorf Astoria, a location decided by the RCB franchise owners.
The extravagant Waldorf Astoria has a stunning view and is considered to be one of the most spacious and attractive hotels in Dubai. It is located at Crescent Road in Palm Jumeirah. Here is a look at some of the stunning pictures of the hotel where Virat Kohli and the rest of his RCB colleagues are currently stationed.
