The star Team India batsman had withdrawn his name from the ongoing India-England Test series, citing "personal issues".

Kohli's former Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) teammate AB De Villiers had inadvertently revealed on his YouTube channel that the star couple were having a second child, but he later retracted his statement  

The couple had been very secretive about Anushka's second pregnancy. However, a video had been doing the rounds, which had raised speculation. In the clip, the actress could be seen walking with a baby bump in a black dress with her cricketer husband.

Anushka and Virat, who are fondly called as 'Virushka' by the fans, got married in December 2017 in a hush-hush ceremony in Italy.

In 2021, Anushka and Virat welcomed their daughter who they named Vamika.
