Virat Kohli was recently seen with his wife Anushka Sharma and daughter Vamika at the team hotel in New York, where they are staying for the 2024 T20 World Cup. India played their opening match of the tournament at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium on Wednesday, defeating Ireland by eight wickets. Although Kohli opened the innings with Rohit Sharma, he was dismissed early for 1(5) while attempting to play aggressively in a modest chase of 97 runs.
Kohli is in excellent form, having scored prolifically in IPL 2024 and securing the orange cap. His supporters are eagerly anticipating a standout performance from him in India’s next match against Pakistan on Sunday. A video posted by a user on platform X shows Kohli walking through the hotel with Anushka and Vamika, holding hands.

Srikkanth Predicts Kohli to Play Until 2026 T20 World Cup
Former Indian cricketer Kris Srikkanth believes that this won’t be Kohli’s last T20 World Cup. He suggests that Kohli’s exceptional fitness level will enable him to continue playing in the T20 format until the 2026 World Cup, which will be held in India. Srikkanth shared his thoughts on his YouTube channel, he stated :
“Is this a last chance for them to win together as a team (with Rohit and Kohli), probably yes. Keep in mind, the 2026 T20 World Cup is in India. So everybody would like to play in India. As far as I am concerned, the kind of fitness Virat Kohli has, he can easily play until 2026. So 2026 could be Virat’s last. For Virat Kohli, this is not the last chance. But he will be very keen because he has not won a T20 World Cup yet.”
Srikkanth also commented on Rohit Sharma’s ambitions, noting, “Whereas Rohit Sharma has won it in 2007. He wanted the ODI World Cup very badly, but he missed it. He will now be looking at the T20 World Cup, thinking he should win it for India as a captain. As a captain, winning the World Cup is a big thing.”
The video capturing Kohli with his family highlights a personal moment amid the intense tournament atmosphere. Fans are keenly observing these interactions, reflecting the high expectations and emotional investment surrounding Team India’s journey in the World Cup. Kohli’s form and presence, along with Sharma’s leadership, are central to India’s hopes in the tournament.
