Following India’s exhilarating T20 World Cup victory and the subsequent celebratory parade in Mumbai, star batter Virat Kohli was spotted departing for London on Thursday night. This swift departure comes after a whirlwind few days for the Indian team, who were delayed in returning home due to a hurricane in Barbados.
A well-deserved break for Virat Kohli
Kohli’s decision to fly to London is a well-deserved opportunity to reunite with his wife, Anushka Sharma, and their children, Vamika and Akaay. Reports suggest that Kohli will be taking an extended break with his family, a much-needed respite after a demanding cricketing schedule. Since the Test series against England, the Indian team, including Kohli, has been engaged in a relentless cricketing season. While Anushka was present during the IPL 2024, she returned from the USA after India’s T20 World Cup victory over Pakistan. With the birth of their son, Akaay, earlier this year in February, Kohli is set to cherish this time away from the field to focus on fatherhood.

Fans understand Kohli’s priorities
While some might express surprise at Kohli’s quick departure, fans are likely to understand his priorities. The pressure and intensity of international cricket are immense, and a break to recharge with loved ones is crucial for maintaining mental and physical well-being. Kohli’s commitment to his family reflects a well-rounded approach to life, balancing his cricketing passion with his responsibilities as a husband and father.
He loves his wife and kids so much. Was jet lagged from Barbados to Delhi, met PM, then took a flight to Mumbai with the team, did a roadshow, attended Wankhede event, danced and now without further delay heading to London. Not even a night’s rest.
