Indian cricket icon Virat Kohli and his wife Anushka Sharma joyfully shared the news of the arrival of their second child. They have also revealed the name of the baby boy, Akaay.
Anushka Sharma took to his official Instagram handle and shared this news. The actress wrote, “With abundant happiness and our hearts all 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!”
She further added, “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.”
“Love & Gratitude. Virat & Anushka,” read the statement from Anushka Sharma on her Instagram post.
Kohli and Anushka Sharma exchanged vows in 2017. The celebrity couple marked the third birthday of their daughter, Vamika, on January 11, 2021.
In 2021, Kohli showed a commitment to family values when, as the captain at the time, he opted to leave the first match of the 4-Test series against Australia to be by his wife’s side for the birth of their first child.
The Indian cricket star initially opted out of the first two Tests against England, with India losing the initial match in Hyderabad and then securing victory in the second one in Vizag. After that, he decided to withdraw from the entire series, citing personal reasons, and received support from the BCCI for his decision.
