Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma Visit Premanand Maharaj in Vrindavan After Test Retirement Announcement
Just a day after announcing his retirement from Test cricket, cricketer Virat Kohli, accompanied by his wife Anushka Sharma, made a visit to Vrindavan on May 13 to seek blessings from spiritual leader Shri Premanand Govind Sharan Ji Maharaj. A video of the couple inside a cab heading to the city quickly went viral, with fans eager to see the pair in the serene setting of the holy town.
In the viral footage shared by ANI, Anushka and Virat are seen in simple white outfits, looking peaceful as they sit inside the ashram, speaking with Maharaj Ji. Both the cricketer and the Bollywood star have been frequent visitors to the ashram over the years, often seeking guidance and blessings from the spiritual leader. Their visit to Vrindavan comes at a significant moment in Kohli’s career, just after announcing his decision to retire from Test cricket.
Virat Kohli made the emotional announcement about his retirement from Test cricket on May 12, thanking his fans and the cricketing community for their unwavering support. His post was heartfelt and filled with gratitude, marking the end of a glorious chapter in his career. Kohli, who made his Test debut in 2011, has played 113 Test matches, scoring 9,230 runs, including 30 centuries and 31 half-centuries. His remarkable achievements have left an indelible mark on the sport.
Following his announcement, several notable Bollywood celebrities, including Ranveer Singh, Angad Bedi, Suniel Shetty, and Vicky Kaushal, paid tribute to Kohli’s illustrious career and his dedication to the game. Anushka, as always, stood by her husband’s side, supporting him during this emotional transition in his career.
This visit to Vrindavan isn’t the couple’s first. In January this year, they visited the city after Kohli’s return from the Australian Test series. During that visit, Shri Premanand Maharaj was seen praising Anushka for her role in keeping Virat grounded and humble despite his immense success. Maharaj Ji spoke highly of her guidance, noting how she has helped Kohli remain faithful and connected to his values despite being one of the most celebrated figures in world cricket.
The couple’s spiritual journey has always been an important part of their lives, with both Kohli and Anushka often sharing their experiences and practices in the hope of inspiring others. Their visit to Premanand Maharaj serves as a reminder of their deep-rooted faith and the importance of staying grounded, no matter how high one’s career or success may reach.
As Kohli steps away from Test cricket, his supporters and the sports community will certainly miss his performances on the field. However, his legacy in Indian cricket is undeniable, and his family, especially his bond with Anushka, will continue to be a source of inspiration.
