The Indian skipper Virat Kohli and his wife and Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma were blessed with a baby girl in Mumbai on Monday afternoon.
Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma, aka Virushka, who tied the knot on December 11, 2017, had announced the news of Anushka’s pregnancy in August last year, amid the Coronavirus pandemic.

Ever since Virat Kohli returned back to the country, the fans of this power-couple were waiting for the couple to announce the big news.
