[Saba Sports News] Star Indian batsman Virat Kohli is currently enjoying family time after opting out of the entire ongoing Test series against England. The cricket icon, who celebrated the arrival of his second child, Akaay, with Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma on February 15, has been seen in England. A recent sighting included Kohli and his daughter Vamika at a restaurant, capturing a tender moment that quickly spread across social media. The photograph shows Kohli in casual attire, sharing a meal with Vamika, who was dressed warmly for the London chill.
Kohli, who became a father to Vamika in January 2021, has often put his family first, taking breaks from cricket to be with them. He notably missed the final three Tests of the 2020-21 Australia series for Vamika’s birth and stepped away from the current England series for his newborn son.
Despite his absence, Kohli has been supportive of the Indian team, celebrating their series lead against England on social media. He praised the young squad for their spirit and resilience, especially in the victory at Ranchi that clinched the series 3-1. Kohli’s tweet highlighted his pride in the team’s performance under pressure.
“YES!!! Phenomenal series win by our young team. Showed grit, determination and resilience. @BCCI,” Kohli posted on X.
In the crucial Ranchi match, India pursued a 192-run target with a solid opening partnership. Although they faced a middle-order collapse, Shubman Gill and Dhruv Jurel’s unbeaten partnership secured the win, with Jurel earning Player of the Match for his critical contributions in both innings.
