Just a day after Virat Kohli officially announced his retirement from Test cricket, he and his wife Anushka Sharma were seen visiting Vrindavan to seek blessings from their spiritual guide, Shri Premanand Govind Sharan Ji Maharaj. The visit has been captured in a now-viral video which shows the couple in simple white attires.

Virat Kohli And Anushka Sharma Seek Blessings From Premanand Ji Maharaj

While the world anticipated yet another summer of cricket, Virat Kohli was preparing for closure. This marked Kohli’s third visit to Shri Premanand Govind Sharan Ji Maharaj, following earlier trips in January 2023 and January 2025.

The couple who is known for their spiritual inclinations has been regular attendees at the spiritual leader’s satsangs. They have often visited with their children, Vamika and Akaay, seeking peace and blessings away from the public eye.


Anushka Sharma’s Role In Kohli’s Spiritual Journey

During a previous visit in January, a video had surfaced showing Shri Premanand Ji Maharaj praising Anushka Sharma for her influence on Kohli’s spiritual path. He credited her with helping the cricketer stay grounded and devoted, despite the overwhelming fame and pressure of international stardom.

That influence has become even more evident in recent years with Kohli openly discussing the importance of mindfulness, perspective and inner peace.

Virat Kohli Legacy

On Monday, Virat Kohli announced his retirement from Test cricket in an emotional social media post. The decision brought about an end of an era, one that saw him play 123 Tests, score 9,230 runs and lead India through one of its most successful phases in red-ball cricket.

He brought fitness, fire and fearlessness into the red-ball arena. Whether it was scoring gritty hundreds in hostile conditions or leading India to their first-ever series win in Australia, Kohli turned moments into milestones.

He didn’t just raise the bar, he became the bar. And as the dust settles on his Test career, one thing is for sure: Kohli didn’t just play the longest format, he ruled it.
