AgenciesVirat Kohli is currently basking in the joy of a monumental achievement—finally leading Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) to their first-ever Indian Premier League (IPL) title. After years of dedication and perseverance, RCB clinched the championship in a thrilling final against Punjab Kings (PBKS) at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. The victory came by a narrow margin of six runs and brought an emotional closure to the team’s 18-year-long wait for the coveted trophy. For Kohli, this triumph was more than just a professional milestone—it was a deeply personal and fulfilling moment that rewarded years of unwavering loyalty to the franchise.
Celebrations With Family
In the midst of this victory, Kohli has been spending quality time with his wife, actor Anushka Sharma, celebrating their shared joy. The couple, known for keeping their private life low-key, has often expressed deep admiration and support for one another. Their relationship has always been seen as grounded, respectful, and mutually inspiring.
Friendship With His Father-in-Law
One of the most striking aspects of Kohli’s connection with the Sharma family is his camaraderie with Anushka’s father, Ajay Kumar Sharma. The former army officer, known for his disciplined and straightforward outlook, shares a friendly and open relationship with Kohli. The cricketer mentioned that he feels comfortable discussing anything with his father-in-law, appreciating the clarity and strength of his perspectives. This bond, rooted in mutual respect, goes beyond the typical dynamics of in-law relationships and reflects a genuine friendship.
Welcomed With Unconditional Love
Kohli emphasized how his integration into Anushka’s family happened naturally, without effort or pretense. He recognized that this kind of organic blending only occurs when people are accepted wholeheartedly. For him, the defining factor in building strong family ties has been respect, empathy, and the kind of love that isn’t bound by conditions or expectations. He extended his appreciation to his mother-in-law and brother-in-law as well, referring to them as kind-hearted and genuine people.
A Family of Four and New Beginnings
Virat and Anushka tied the knot in a picturesque ceremony in Italy in 2018. Since then, they have grown into a close-knit family, now parenting two children—daughter Vamika and newborn son Akaay. Though rumors suggest that the family might have relocated to London, neither of them has confirmed this publicly.
A Legacy On and Off the Field
As Kohli steps away from Test cricket after 123 matches, where he amassed over 9200 runs, including 30 centuries and 31 half-centuries, his legacy continues to evolve. His triumph in the IPL and his rich personal life stand as proof of a man who balances professional excellence with meaningful personal connections.
