The news of Virat Kohli leaving India and settling down in London with his wife Anushka Sharma after the birth of their second baby is not uncommon to anyone. He was seen in London all the time since then.
But after Team India’s Test series against New Zealand came to a conclusion, although India lost with such humiliating 0-3 series, Virat Kohli looked quite in a good mood and celebrated his birthday in India with the wife Anushka Sharma. Kohli posed for shutterbugs and interacted with them at his restaurant chain One8 Commune.
Kohli is open about balancing his professional and personal lives, and as a family man with Anushka Sharma and their daughter Vamika, he values spending quality time with them. This balance may be a priority, especially between international tours and series, as it contributes to his overall well-being.
Despite India winning the 2024 T20 World Cup title, this year hasn’t been the finest for Kohli from the perspective of form and personal milestones. The iconic batter has struggled for runs, no matter which format he has played. Even in the T20 World Cup, Kohli struggled to step up, barring the solitary final against South Africa.
In the recently concluded Test series against New Zealand, Kohli didn’t even manage to cross the 100-run mark cumulatively. In fact, many questions have been raised over his continuity in the team. While Virat has already quit the T20 international format, there are many who wonder if his days in India’s Test team could be numbered too.
What Lies Ahead for Virat Kohli After India’s Recent Series Loss?
Kohli has already been picked for India’s tour of Australia, where Rohit Sharma‘s men are scheduled to feature in a total of 5 Test matches. Kohli’s love affair with Australia isn’t hidden from any of his fans, but his form isn’t painting a particularly rosy picture at the moment.
While experts expect Kohli to turn things around and lead India’s charge with the bat Down Under, there are those too who worry if Test retirement could be on the horizon in a case where the iconic batter fails to turn the table around.
