Last week, Kohli posted a few pictures on Instagram from one of his gym sessions. 

India are slated to play three ODIs, same number of Twenty20 Internationals and four Test matches during their nearly two-month long tour of Australia. 

The Indian broad had granted Kohli paternity leave earlier this month. 

India will begin the tour without their experienced opening batsman Rohit Sharma, who was ruled out of the limited-overs squads due to a hamstring injury. 

Rohit suffered the injury during the recently-concluded Indian Premier League. 

Rohit was named in the Test squad but according to several media reports, his participation in the first two matches is in doubt.
