In 2017, Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma exchanged vows, marking the beginning of their journey as a married couple.
The couple welcomed their daughter, Vamika, on January 11, 2021, adding more joy to their lives. Kohli’s commitment to family was evident in 2021 when he prioritized being with Anushka during Vamika’s birth, even returning home from a Test series against Australia.
Initially, the Indian star opted out of the first two Tests against England. India faced a defeat in the opening match in Hyderabad but bounced back with a victory in the second Test in Vizag. However, the player decided to withdraw from the entire series, citing personal reasons. The BCCI supported his decision.
