Virat Kohli is one of the most successful cricketers to serve Indian cricket. In his more than a decade-long international career, Kohli’s records across all formats are only second to the god of cricket, Sachin Tendulkar.

However, off the field, Kohli has always wanted to have a low-key personal life. He got married to mainstream Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma in 2017 and is a father to two kids.

Kohli's journey as a father highlights his softer, nurturing side, making him relatable and inspiring to millions of fans who admire his transition from a cricket icon to a doting dad.

Virat Kohli is blessed with two kids, a daughter and a son. After getting married to Anushka Sharma in a close-knit ceremony in 2017, the actress gave birth to the couple’s first child on January 11, 2021. They welcomed a daughter and named her ‘Vamika.’ A couple of years later, the couple were blessed with their second kid as Anushka gave birth to a baby boy ‘Akaay’ in London on February 15, 2024.

Moreover, even on-field, the cricketer never misses a chance to stay connected with his kids. He has been often spotted talking to his kids via video calls after matches. Hence, despite a busy schedule, Kohli has managed to strike the right balance by giving equal priority to his wife and kids.

Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma welcomed their first child, Vamika, in Mumbai in 2021. The news was announced on social media with a heartfelt note, thanking fans for their love and requesting privacy for their child. The couple celebrated their first birthday in South Africa during India's cricket tour.

The couple named their beautiful daughter, 'Vamika Kohli'. In Sanskrit literature, the name Vamika is associated with Goddess Durga. It symbolises strength, power, and protection. It is also interpreted as "the Goddess who is the consort of Lord Shiva" (another form of Parvati).

Anushka Sharma used to bring Vamika to several international games before her pictures got leaked through broadcasters. Since then, the Bollywood actress has kept her kids, 4-year-old Vamika and 1 year old Akaay away from the stadiums. She often attends the games alone cheering for her husband in crucial games.
