Indian cricketer Virat Kohli, who is not playing the ongoing Test series against England at home, was spotted with his daughter Vamika at a London restaurant recently, the photo of which was shared on social media and has gone viral.
Kohli and his wife, Anushka Sharma, became parents for the second time after giving birth to a baby boy on February 15. The cricketer announced this on February 20, in which he revealed the boy’s name as “Akaay”.
“With abundant happiness and our hearts full of love, we are pleased to inform everyone that on the 15th, 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 kindly request that you respect our privacy at this time,” Kohli wrote on social media while making the announcement.
On Monday, the 35-year-old cricketer congratulated the team for winning the fourth Test against England at Ranchi, which also helped the side clinch the series before the fifth and final match in Dharamsala.
On January 22, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced Kohli would be unavailable for the first two Tests against England at Hyderabad and Vizag due to personal reasons.
Following these two matches, they said that Kohli would miss the remainder of the series in Rajkot, Ranchi, and Dharamsala, making it the first instance of him missing a Test series at home.
