According to a report by Mirror, Virat Kohli flew to the UAE through an exclusive charter aircraft instead of travelling with the rest of his RCB teammates. As per the publication, the Indian captain did not want to risk contracting coronavirus by travelling via a team flight. At first, Virat Kohli had himself quarantined and tested in Mumbai itself which is why he flew alone through a charter flight from the city. By the evening of the same day, RCB confirmed the arrival of Virat Kohli in Dubai through their social media pages. The rest of the RCB squad had reached the UAE just a few hours before their captain landed in the country.
