[Watch] Virat Kohli, Kuldeep Yadav Visit Ujjain's Mahakaleshwar Temple Ahead of ODI

Virat Kohli's spiritual connection has increased dramatically in recent years. The former captain of India, Kohli, now frequently visits religious sites starting from temples in Uttarakhand and ending in ashrams in Vrindavan to get the serenity that is miles away from the very loud cricket of his level. India’s left-arm spinner Kuldeep Yadav and Kohli visited the Shree Mahakaleshwar Jyotirlinga Temple on Saturday morning. This temple is located slightly below two hours from Holkar Stadium, which is in Indore, where India will face New Zealand in the third ODI, deciding the series.

The visit took place just before the match which was extremely important as the series was drawn at one game apiece. Wearing simple clothes, Kohli and Kuldeep performed the rituals and then had a short talk with the followers of the religion outside the temple. Furthermore, Kuldeep, who was on his first visit to the famous shrine in Ujjain, prayed not only for his own good luck but also for the T20 World Cup 2026, in a way.
