Special period for Virat Kohli
Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma may be celebrating their third wedding anniversary, but a very special moment will be coming for them in January 2021. During IPL 2020, Anushka Sharma announced that she was pregnant and the couple are expecting their first child in January.
Following the news, Virat Kohli announced that he was going to take a paternity leave and play only the first Test in Australia in Adelaide on December 17. The Pink Ball Test will be Virat Kohli’s final international engagement before he flies back to India and be with Anushka Sharma for the special moment. The BCCI granted paternity leave and that drew a mixed reaction from Indian cricket fans, who stated that national duties should come first.
Many compared him with MS Dhoni, who had not seen his daughter for close to two months as he was playing the 2015 ICC Cricket World Cup.
