Only Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma together have the capability to drag the spotlight all of a sudden. Amid the T20 World Cup 2026, when most of the cricket-related talks are around Team India, the power couple suddenly made headlines. 

Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli were recently spotted at the Mumbai airport after spending some quality time in Uttarakhand, where they visited Kanchi Dham with their daughter, Vamika. During their outings in public places, they had to fulfill demands to take photos. 

Whenever they went out in public gatherings, whether it was a match, an event, or a simple holiday, fans around the corner of the globe recognized them easily and asked them for photos or autographs. Virat Kohli is still active in international cricket, in the Indian Premier League.

But his wife, Anushka Sharma, distanced herself from the Bollywood industry. Still, fans can remember his movies and acting skills. The craze at the Mumbai airport around the couple is the latest example of how people can go crazy for both Anushka and Virat. 

Anushka Sharma's candid reaction left Virat Kohli in laughter 

Both of them welcomed the paparazzi with smiles on their faces. Sharma even jokingly said, "Shaadi Ke Photos Le Rahe Hai Hum?" Which leaves the internet in splits. After taking back-to-back photos, they politely left the spot. 

What Anushka said makes sense, as they tied the knot almost nine years ago, back in 2017, after dating each other privately. Virat and Anushka are currently the parents of two children—daughter Vamika and son Akaay. Despite the immense popularity in India, they have reportedly decided to settle in the United Kingdom to ensure the privacy of their children.

Indian cricketer Virat Kohli and his actress wife Anushka Sharma recently visited Premanand Maharaj’s Keli Kunj Ashram in Vrindavan for blessings and prayers. The couple reached the ashram early in the morning. They spent time in prayer, devotional activities, and listening to the teachings of the spiritual leader. This visit was another step in their spiritual journey.

Talking about this, Pundrik Goswami Maharaj said that people like Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma, who have everything — fame, money, and beauty — are trying to become true devotees of Lord Krishna. He said it is amazing to see such celebrities take time for devotion and spiritual life despite their busy schedule.

The visit came just after their son Akaay’s birthday on February 15. This made the visit very special for the family.

This is not the first time Virat and Anushka have gone to Vrindavan for spiritual guidance. They have visited the Premanand Maharaj Ashram several times in the past to seek blessings. During earlier visits, the spiritual leader talked about life’s purpose and the journey of devotion guided by a guru.

Virat’s Upcoming Matches

Over the past few years, the couple has shown a strong interest in spirituality. In 2023, they visited the Mahakaleshwar Temple and the Neem Karoli Baba Ashram, among other religious places.

Meanwhile, Virat will return to play for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the next Indian Premier League (IPL). RCB will play as defending champions, and fans will watch closely when Virat takes the field in the first match of the season.

Virat will also play for India in July in a key ODI series in England, starting on 14th July in Birmingham. He was in great form earlier this year in a three-match ODI series against New Zealand, scoring 240 runs in three matches. Fans hope he continues this form in England.

After conceding four runs in the first three balls, including a wide, Devine dismissed Sneh (29) and Niki (47) in the fourth and last balls of that over, while scoring only a single on the fifth ball. 

Sophie Devine won the Player of the Match award after finishing with the bowling figures of 4-0-37-4. Also, Rajeshwari Gayakwad got three wickets, as she had the bowling figures of 4-0-20-3.

Virat Kohli returned to India a few days ago and visited Mumbai, besides making a trip to Delhi, perhaps spending a couple of days at home. It has been a long time since he has stayed long in this country despite not being part of any competitive cricket. The right-handed batter took his retirement from the longest and shortest formats of the game in June this year. 

Virat Kohli went to Australia for the three-match ODI series before heading home for a couple of weeks’ rest when the Indian side was taking part in the five-match T20I series down under. The veteran again returned home to feature in the three-match ODI series against South Africa before returning to the United Kingdom for just a handful of days.

Now a video has gone viral around the social media where Kohli has been seen to be travelling with his wife, Anushka Sharma, to Alibaug to perhaps spend some time off before a hectic few weeks where he will play a couple of games for Delhi in the Vijay Hazare Trophy (VHT) 2025/26 before featuring in the three-match ODI series against New Zealand at home.

Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma travel to Alibaug

Kohli didn’t do well in the three-match series down under, where he returned with two ducks in the first couple of clashes in Adelaide and Perth before smashing a fine half-century with the bat in Sydney, along with an unbeaten stand with centurion Rohit Sharma to win the contest for the Blue Brigade.

Watch the video here: 

Once he returned to India, the form went up, and he recorded two successive centuries against the Proteas in Ranchi and Raipur. When the target was not a big one, it remained unbeaten on an aggressive half-century in the third ODI in Vizag to clinch the series by a 21-run margin for the Indian side.

With form and fitness on his side, there must not be any question about Kohli being on track for the upcoming 2027 ODI World Cup in South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Namibia.

When everyone was talking about Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma's possible visit to see legendary footballer Lionel Messi, proving every assumption wrong, they again paid a visit to Premananda Maharaj's shrine. While they were listening and speaking with Swamiji, Anushka Sharma's eyes were visibly looking numb and were in tears.

Kohli, who was sitting right on the left side of his wife, was eagerly soaking in the holy advice from Premananda Maharaj. People who follow Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma are well aware of their faith in spiritual acts. They often went to temples to worship the almighty. It was not the first time that Virat and Anushka went to Premananda Maharaj's Ashram.

 It was almost their routine to visit Swami Ji's ashram during the winter season every year. Last year too, the couple went to him to seek blessings. Through the video viewers can see both of them attending the shrine in winter clothes and a tilak on Sharma's forehead.

"Consider your work as service, remain serious and humble, and chant the name of God. You should have the desire to see your real father once. You should have the longing to see him," Premananda Maharaj said. 

"Have the desire that we have found all happiness; now we want you, and once we have found you, all happiness lies at your feet... We all belong to Shri Ji. We are under his protection. We are all his children."

A day after the recent India vs South Africa ODI match in Vizag, where India emerged as the winner, Virat Kohli visited the Sri Varaha Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy Temple in Simhachalam. He was accompanied by all-rounder Washington Sundar, fielding coach T. Dilip, and some officials of the Andhra Cricket Association.

Virat Kohli made a strong comeback by scoring his 84th international century in the second ODI against South Africa in Raipur. It was also his 53rd ODI hundred, the most by any player in the format. After scoring a match-winning century in the first ODI at Ranchi, Kohli continued his great form with a brilliant 90-ball ton that included seven fours and two sixes.

India batted first on a friendly batting pitch. Young opener Ruturaj Gaikwad supported Kohli with an amazing knock, scoring his first ODI century in just his eighth match. Together, the duo built a powerful 195-run partnership for the third wicket and completely dominated the South African bowlers.

Shortly after Gaikwad was dismissed for 105, Kohli reached his landmark ton in the very next over, sending the crowd into celebration once again. Back home, a special supporter of Virat Kohli also erupted in joy. His wife, Anushka Sharma, shared an Instagram story to celebrate Kohli and dropped a cute, red heart.

Anushka Sharma’s Heartwarming Reaction to Kohli’s Record Ton

Anushka, who is in London with the couple’s two kids, enjoyed the action from the comfort of her home. Meanwhile, Kohli’s knock had a nostalgic touch to it. During his peak between 2016 and 2018, such performances had become a regular feature, and this latest achievement only adds to his legendary status.

Virat Kohli also extended his lead over Sachin Tendulkar in terms of ODI centuries, moving four centuries ahead of the Master Blaster. His 84 international hundreds now place him second on the all-time list, only behind Tendulkar’s 100. Among active players, he is far ahead of the next best, Joe Root, who has 58 centuries. Meanwhile, Kohli (102) and Ruturaj Gaikwad (105) powered India to 358/5 with their 195-run stand, as South African bowlers struggled throughout the innings.

By the end of November 28, a statement went viral around the social media platforms, which claimed that Anushka Sharma goes to GG. Actually, it happened during the recently concluded mega auction of the Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2026, which took place in Delhi with all five franchises- Mumbai Indians, Delhi Capitals, Royal Challengers Bengaluru, UP Warriorz, and Gujarat Giants- building their strong squad. 

During the auction, one cricketer’s name evoked curiosity on social media, and it wasn’t hard to understand why. Unlike the famous Bollywood namesake, Anushka Sharma is an upcoming cricketer from Madhya Pradesh, who is known for her hard-hitting abilities. Apart from being a dependable batter, she also bowls off-spin.

Anushka started from a base price of INR 10 lakh, as the Gujarat Giants eventually picked up the player for a price of INR 45 lakh, overcoming the competition from Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), who took the bid till INR 40 lakh. The 22-year-old is one of the rare batters on display in India’s domestic circuit.

Anushka has been a strong performer with a List A average of 63. In the domestic T20s, her game has improved. During the Senior Women’s Inter-Zonal T20 trophy, she represented the Central Zone and had a fine season for the Madhya Pradesh side.

In the glittering world where cricket meets Bollywood, few duos shine as brightly as Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma. Affectionately known as "Virushka," the couple continues to redefine what it means to be a power pair, this time by stepping into the fintech arena. On October 7, 2025, Pay10, an emerging leader in India’s digital payments space, announced Virat and Anushka as its new Global Ambassadors, marking a major milestone in the brand’s expansion journey.

Virat Kohli, often hailed as the “King of Cricket,” is more than a sporting icon, he’s a billion-rupee brand in himself. With over 80 international centuries and a net worth surpassing $300 million, Kohli’s name is synonymous with excellence and reliability. From Puma and Audi to MRF and Vivo, his endorsements command massive influence. Yet, his partnership with Anushka off the field adds a unique dimension, one that blends fame with substance.

Anushka Sharma, who enchanted audiences through acclaimed performances in films like PK and Zero, has successfully transitioned into a powerful entrepreneur and philanthropist. Her fashion label, Nush, and her vocal advocacy for animal rights have made her one of India’s most admired public figures. Together, Virat and Anushka balance fame and family, raising their two children, Vamika and Akaay, while co-founding SEVVA, their charitable foundation dedicated to child welfare.

Pay10’s Perfect Match

For Pay10, bringing “Virushka” on board is more than just a marketing move, it’s a statement of trust and innovation. Specializing in AI-powered, fraud-resistant transactions, Pay10 aims to simplify how India transacts digitally. CEO Rajesh Gupta expressed the sentiment perfectly: “Virat and Anushka embody the qualities Pay10 stands for, trust, innovation, and modern India’s spirit of progress.”

Their upcoming campaign, “Pay Strong, Love Eternal,” captures the couple’s chemistry in everyday moments, Virat planning a surprise date night with a quick tap, Anushka managing family getaways effortlessly. The message is clear: love and technology can coexist beautifully when powered by trust.

India’s Ultimate Power Couple

This isn’t the first time the couple has set benchmarks in brand collaborations. Their earlier tie-ups, with Myntra, Toothsi, Blue Tribe, and Shyam Steel, have consistently resonated with audiences for their authenticity and aspirational quality. Reports by Duff & Phelps place Virat and Anushka at the top of India’s celebrity brand value rankings, even outshining other star couples like Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone.

What makes “Virushka” unstoppable is their authenticity. In a world obsessed with optics, they represent something refreshingly real, mutual respect, shared goals, and enduring chemistry. Virat’s 270 million Instagram followers turn to him for fitness inspiration, while Anushka’s 70 million fans connect with her raw, relatable take on motherhood. For Pay10, this kind of credibility translates into consumer trust,and likely, a surge in new users.

As India races toward a $5 trillion economy, partnerships like these symbolize more than marketing, they define aspiration. Virat and Anushka aren’t just endorsing a fintech brand; they’re embodying the new India: tech-savvy, value-driven, and rooted in authenticity. Here’s to the couple who continue to score centuries in love, legacy, and leadership.

Indian women’s cricket star Jemimah Rodrigues recently shared a fun story involving legendary batter Virat Kohli and his wife Anushka Sharma. The anecdote came up during an interview with The Bombay Journey, where Jemimah recounted a memorable interaction that took place during a New Zealand tour.

According to Jemimah, the story began when her teammate Smriti Mandhana approached Kohli for some cricketing advice. At that time, the Indian men’s and women’s teams were staying at the same hotel. Kohli, accompanied by Anushka Sharma, warmly welcomed both Smriti and Jemimah to join them at the hotel cafe.

The meeting provided a casual yet memorable moment for the Indian women cricketers, who got a chance to interact with one of the biggest icons in world cricket. For Jemimah and her teammates, it was not only a fun experience but also an inspiring encounter with Kohli’s guidance and Anushka’s friendly presence.

Jemimah Rodrigues Shares a Fun Story from New Zealand Tour:

Jemimah Rodrigues recently recounted a memorable story featuring cricketing legend Virat Kohli and his wife Anushka Sharma. She shared the anecdote during an interview, highlighting a fun and inspiring interaction that left a lasting impression on her and her teammates during their tour.

She said, “ Once we were in New Zealand. Smriti and I were there, and the men's and women's teams were staying in the same hotel. So Smriti and I asked Virat if he could talk to us about batting. He said, 'Yeah, please come,' and then he told us to come down to the cafe. For the first half an hour, we spoke only about cricket.”

Jemimah Rodrigues also shared how Virat Kohli offered her and Smriti Mandhana an inspiring message. His words motivated the young cricketers, providing guidance and encouragement that left a positive impact on them during their time together at the hotel cafe.

She recalled, “ You both have the power to change women's cricket. And I can see that happening. Just take up that responsibility because the change you can bring is going to be big and massive.”

She further said, “ We talked a lot about batting and related things. After that, we just spoke about life, like how long-lost friends meet and chat.”

The conversation between them went on for hours, filled with insights and laughter, until the cafe staff eventually asked them to leave due to closing time, bringing an end to the memorable and engaging interaction between the cricketers and the superstar couple.

She added, “ We ended up talking for four hours - half an hour on batting and four hours on random stuff. The only reason we stopped was because the cafe staff kicked us out. They said, 'That's it, it's done now. It's 11:30, you need to leave.”

When asked whether she discussed the similarities between her batting style and Kohli’s, Jemimah Rodrigues responded, sharing her thoughts on the comparison and reflecting on how she views Kohli’s technique and approach as an inspiration in shaping her own game. She said, “ Yes, I did speak to him.”

<![CDATA[WATCH: Virat Kohli’s heartwarming reply when asked about Anushka Sharma during an event]]> https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/watch-virat-kohli-s-heartwarming-reply-when-asked-about-anushka-sharma-during-an-event/ https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/watch-virat-kohli-s-heartwarming-reply-when-asked-about-anushka-sharma-during-an-event/ Sat, 12 Jul 2025 14:29:00 GMT

A few days ago, the fans got the first appearance of Virat Kohli after he announced his Test retirement just three weeks before the start of the five-match series between England and India. Even though the veteran has stepped away from the game in the longest format, he is still winning several hearts with his heartwarming gestures on various occasions. 

The former Indian captain recently made a public appearance in London during a charity event, hosted by his former team-mate and the famous all-rounder, Yuvraj Singh. The event saw many other ex-players, including Brian Lara, Kevin Pietersen, and Sachin Tendulkar, turn up along with the current red-ball series. The program was for supporting Yuvraj’s YouWeCan Foundation.

However, amidst all the players and the legends, it was Virat Kohli’s simple and sweet gesture that stole the show and the internet. A video went viral on social media where Kohli was seen seated next to the former England batter, Pietersen. One of the unseen friends asked Kohli about his family, to which the veteran waved his hands from a distance.

It didn’t stop there. It seemed like Kohli’s friend asked him about his wife, Anushka Sharma, the famous Bollywood actress, and his children. To this, the former captain informed with a hand gesture that both were sleeping as Anushka was taking care of them at home. It was quite a respectful moment of the event.

The dinner event was just a few days after Kohli and Anushka were spotted enjoying the Wimbledon 2025 Round, where they watched the Tennis game between the legendary Novak Djokovic and Australia’s Alex de Minaur, where the former defeated the latter. This was Kohli’s very first appearance before the public since they won their maiden title in the IPL 2025 for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB).

The Delhi-born ended his Test career as the country’s fourth leading run-getter with 9230 runs in 210 innings at an average of 46.85, shouldering 30 centuries and 31 half-centuries at the best score of unbeaten 254 runs. He is expected to turn for the national side if they make the probable trip to Sri Lanka. Otherwise, he will fly to Australia for the upcoming ODI series in September.
