Virat Kohli may have stepped away from Test cricket, but he hasn’t stepped out of the spotlight entirely. As India battles England in an ongoing Test series, the cricket icon has opted for a quiet retreat in London with wife Anushka Sharma and their two children, Vamika and Akaay. Choosing family time and privacy over packed stadiums and cricketing chaos, Kohli is embracing a slower pace of life—far from the frenzy that usually surrounds him back home.
According to reports, the Kohli-Sharma family has headed to London, choosing to stay under the radar. Virat is reportedly keeping a low profile, living just a few miles from the stadium where he once dominated the pitch.
As per The Telegraph, Vamika’s dad is intentionally keeping his distance from the ongoing cricket action, even though he’s just a short distance away from the stadium where the Shubman Gill-led Indian team is facing off against England.
Kohli also gave the World Test Championship final a miss, along with skipping the MCC’s World Cricket Connects symposium held at the stadium.
While Virat Kohli has carved his name as one of India’s greatest batsmen—shattering records and rewriting history—his personal sanctuary lies far from home, in the quiet corners of London.
The cricketer and his actress-wife Anushka Sharma are often seen enjoying the city’s simple pleasures—taking strolls, dining out, and even riding the Tube. It’s a kind of normalcy that would be nearly impossible back in India, given their towering celebrity status.
