Indian star cricketer Virat Kohli has took to his official Instagram account and shared that he and his wife Anushka Sharma have been blessed with a baby boy. The 35-year-old took to his social media handle and revealed that they welcomed their daughter Vamika's little brother on February 15th, 2023.
The right-handed batter had famously left the tour of Australia midway through 2020-21 when Anushka was pregnant for the first time and she gave birth to Vamika. The Delhi-born cricketer put out a statement on Instagram and requested privacy at this stage.
His statement read as:
"With abundant happiness and our hearts full of love, we are pleased to inform everyone that on 15th February. We welcomed our baby boy Akaay & Vamika's little brother into this world. We seek your blessings and good wishes in this beautiful time in our lives. We request you to kindly respect our privacy at this time."
Virat Kohli is currently missing the entire five-Test series against England:
For what Kohli mentioned as personal reasons, the former Indian captain decided to skip the first two Tests against England and sidelined himself from the entire series later. Nevertheless, the right-hander's absence has hardly bothered the Indian side as they currently lead the series 2-1.
While Rohit Sharma and co. lost the opening Test in Hyderabad by 28 runs, they bounced back to beat England in Vishakhapatnam and Rajkot comprehensively. The 4th Test between India and England begins in Ranchi on February 23rd.
