India's star batter Virat Kohli is one of the richest sportspersons in the world and is the highest-earning cricketer by some distance.
Though born in Delhi, Kohli lives in Mumbai at present but that isn't the only home he owns. Virat, on Monday, posted a video on Instagram where the star player gave a tour of his holiday home in Alibaug.
At the beginning of the video, Virat explained why he didn't keep a Television set in the living room.
"Kickstarting 2024 at the Baugh! Love my new holiday home at Avas Living, Alibaugh. Super excited to give you a sneak peak into my oasis," he wrote in a post

In the tour video, Virat displayed different parts of the bungalow and opened up on the reason for not having a television as he wanted conversations to be the only source of entertainment.
He also spoke about his morning routine and gave a glimpse of his room where he likes to relax.
"Most of the day I was out practicing and stuff, but whenever there was an occasion in the house, the commonplace was the dinner table where all the food would be spread out and everyone sits together. So that's something that I could not do enough of. We make sure that we don't miss out on that and we make sure that it's a practice in our household, just spending time here.
"When you're part of so much going on all the time and things are so hectic on the outside, you always want to get away as much as possible. And Alibaug allows us to do that. And I feel really, really good whenever I've been here. And all the intensity of what's going on just comes down and you feel relaxed," Kohli said as he revealed reason to have a holiday home in Alibaug.
Virat also spoke about his morning routine as he said: "The outdoors here is where I'd like to sit down and have a cup of coffee and really chill out and relax. I'm never really on holiday, if that makes any sense to people who take proper holidays. I don't think it would, but in my case, I'm always on a fixed diet. I'm always on a fixed training routine, and hence my morning routine is pretty similar. Wake up, just chill out, relax, drink some lemon water, really ease into the morning, and then start with breakfast. And from there, the day goes on."
Talking about his cricketing assignment, Virat recently made his return to the T20I side alongside skipper Rohit Sharma after more than a year.
The duo was last seen in a T20I match during the T20 World Cup 2022 which was the semi-final contest against England
However, both the experienced campaigners will not be seen in action in the shortest format during the three-match home T20I series against Afghanistan.
But, Kohli will not be available for selection in the first T20I match in Mohali as he ruled himself out due to personal reasons.
