Virat Kohli, the renowned Team India batting maestro, has returned to India after the joyous occasion of his son Akaay’s birth in London. The star batter, who missed the recent five-match Test series against England due to personal reasons, was warmly welcomed at the Mumbai airport as he made his first public appearance since becoming a father again.
Kohli, looking refreshed and eager, is expected to join the Royal Challengers Bangalore’s training camp imminently, gearing up for the much-anticipated Indian Premier League season. His team is set to kick off the IPL 2024 campaign against the Chennai Super Kings on March 22, promising an electrifying start to the cricketing extravaganza.
In a video captured by Viral Bhayani, eagle-eyed fans couldn’t help but notice a few strands of white hair amidst Kohli’s signature beard, prompting playful speculation among supporters. The 35-year-old, now a proud father of two, had gracefully opted out of the Test series to be with his family during this special time. He had been in London for the past few weeks alongside his wife, Anushka Sharma, and daughter Vamika, before sharing the delightful news of Akaay’s arrival on February 20.
With Kohli’s return, anticipation and excitement soar as cricket enthusiasts eagerly await his stellar performances both on and off the field in the upcoming IPL season. As he embarks on this new chapter of fatherhood, fans worldwide are undoubtedly thrilled to witness his unwavering commitment and unmatched passion for the sport.
