Star Indian cricketer Virat Kohli and his spouse, Bollywood icon Anushka Sharma, joyously declared the birth of their baby boy, Akaay, on February 15. The couple, already parents to an elder daughter named Vamika, shared the news after Kohli had been absent from cricketing action for nearly a month, sparking conjecture. The former captain of the Indian cricket team put an end to the speculations by confirming the news on social media.
Kohli posted with caption: “With abundant happiness and our hearts full of love, we are pleased to inform everyone that on 15th February, we welcomed our baby boy Akaay & Vamika’s little brother into this world.”
“We seek your blessings and good wishes in this beautiful time in our lives. We request you to kindly respect our privacy at this time.”
A circulating image captured Kohli seated at a restaurant alongside a child, purportedly taken in London with speculation suggesting the child is Vamika. Kohli, despite his absence from the Test series against England due to the arrival of his son, expressed his elation on social media following India’s remarkable series victory against England. India clinched a historic five-wicket triumph over England in the fourth Test match in Ranchi, securing an insurmountable 3-1 lead in the five-match series.

Although Kohli was absent from the Test series, he promptly conveyed a heartfelt message to the team in celebration of their triumph. India’s dominance on home turf persevered amidst the challenges posed by England, as Rohit Sharma’s squad battled to secure a hard-earned victory in the fourth Test, extending their streak of consecutive series victories to 17, and delivering a sobering reality check to England’s one-dimensional strategy.
