Kohli told Dinesh Karthik in an interaction: “If I hadn’t met her (Anushka), I don’t know where I would have been. She has made me believe where I am and what impact I can have through what I do. She has alleviated me as a person, and that has eventually filtered through in cricket. I couldn’t be more grateful and lucky to have a life partner like her. She is absolutely my better half.”
The 32-year-old also opened how their life changed after the birth of Vamika and how he and Anushka “stay up to speed” with their baby girl’s schedule. Virat and Anushka tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in Tuscany in December 2017 and welcomed Vamika in January 2021.
He said, “Firstly now, with our daughter, it’s putting her to sleep, first thing. Then, stepping out for breakfast somewhere, grab a quick coffee in the time that we get. And then, come back to the room to be with our daughter again. Priority is obviously making sure that we stay up to speed with her schedule.”
Currently, Anushka and Vamika with Kohli in England where he is leading the Indian cricket team in a five-match Test series. The skipper revealed how they comfortably walk down the street after doing parenting duties that luxury isn’t available back in India because of a huge fan following.
Kohli signed off by saying, “Just taking a stroll down the street is probably the most relaxing thing for both of us (in England). Such is the reality of our lives back home. Can’t complain about anything in life, but we have to adjust. Thinking of going down the street in India is not even a dream for us now, it doesn’t even arrive in our dreams anymore.”
