Virat Kohli was seen in London, graciously posing for a selfie with a fan, marking his first public appearance since his wife, Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma, returned to Mumbai. Anushka has been busy with promotional events in the city, while Kohli remains in the UK, taking a well-deserved break before his upcoming cricket commitments.
Kohli, who skipped the 2024 Duleep Trophy on a BCCI exemption, is enjoying time with his family in London. Known for seeking privacy, Kohli often chooses London as a getaway during his breaks from cricket. The former Indian captain will soon rejoin the national team for a two-match Test series against Bangladesh in the coming month.
Although Kohli hasn’t played Test cricket since January, missing the England series due to personal reasons, his return to red-ball cricket will be closely watched. The Indian team will face a confident Bangladesh side, fresh off a 2-0 series win against Pakistan.
In addition to his cricketing feats, Kohli was recently recognized as India’s highest tax-paying sportsperson in FY 2023-24, contributing a staggering INR 66 crore.
