Indian cricket team skipper and his wife Anushka Sharma have welcomed a baby girl on Monday (January 11). The couple took to social media to confirm the good news.
"We are thrilled to share with you that we have been blessed with a baby girl this afternoon. We thank you for all your love, prayers and good wishes. Anushka and the baby are both healthy and we are feeling beyond blessed to start the new chapter of our lives," Virat Kohli said in a social media post.
Kohli and Anushka tied the knot at a private ceremony in December 2018. The couple had announced their pregnancy on social media on August 27.
Virat and Anushka had announced that they are adding another member to the family. In identical tweets, they had written, “And then, we were three! Arriving Jan 2021.”
Kohli returned to India from Australia after playing the first Test in Adelaide in December.
On January 1, Virat and Anushka were spotted having dinner with Indian all-rounder Hardik Pandya, his wife Natasha Stankovic and some friends on January 1. The couple had posted the picture on Instagram.
There is no denying the fact that Kohli is being sorely missed by the Indian team in Australia. India, however, succeeded in putting up a fight in Melbourne and defeated Australia in the second Test after facing a humiliating loss in the first Test at Adelaide to level the series 1-1.
The India side led by stand-in skipper Ajinkya Rahane bounded back in the third Test in Sydney and secured a draw on Monday (January 11). The fourth and final Test of the series will be played in Brisbane from January 15.
