Virat Kohli is preparing for his eagerly anticipated comeback to cricket on October 19, when India plays Australia in a three-match One-Day International series. The star batter was spotted in Gurugram the day before his October 15 departure for Australia, finishing a significant personal task.

Kohli formally gave his older brother Vikas Kohli the General Power of Attorney (GPA) for his property at the Wazirabad Tehsil office in Gurugram on October 14, reported News18. Known for his keen focus both on and off the field, the cricketer took some time off to take care of the legal paperwork himself. Kohli also posed for photos and signed autographs for the tehsil employees when he was there.

A General Power of Attorney is a legal document that enables a person (referred to as the principal) to give another person (referred to as the agent) the ability to manage their finances or legal affairs. This include managing real estate, making agreements, and carrying out financial transactions.

However, property ownership cannot be transferred by a GPA; a registered sale deed is necessary for that. When they are based overseas, many celebrities, athletes, and NRIs use GPAs to make it easier to manage their assets in India, according to legal experts.
