Taking a cue from Virat Kohli, KL Rahul has also visited the Mahakaleshwar Jyotirlinga Temple in Ujjain ahead of the IPL season.
Ujjain: We are two days away from the start of the brand new season of the cash-rich Indian Premier league and the buzz is palpable. The RCB Unbox on Tuesday gave momentum to the buzz of the IPL and now we are almost ready. Virat Kohli, who was the centre of attraction at the Unbox event, was not in the best of form a couple of seasons back and that is when he visited the Mahakaleshwar Jyotirlinga Temple in Ujjain to seek divine intervention. What followed, was truckloads of runs. Now, taking a cue from Kohli, KL Rahul has also visited the same temple ahead of the IPL season. Here are the visuals of his visit.
