Virat Kohli’s Post-Retirement India Exit Confirmed

Since Virat Kohli decided to move to London in the off-season with his wife, Anushka Sharma, and two kids, it has become a talking point on social media accounts. Intense speculation has been through about his and Anushka for the reasons for shifting their base to a different country.

Dr. Sriram Nene, who is the husband of the Bollywood actress Madhuri Dixit, expressed his mutual admiration for the Delhi batter. He revealed the past interaction with Anushka, who wanted to raise their kids in a normal environment in London.

“I have a lot of respect for him. We’ve met him multiple times; he’s just a decent human being. I’ll tell you something, and this is what you learn: they all put their pants on one leg at a time. We had a conversation with Anushka one day, and it was very interesting.” Dr. Nene, who runs a health and wellness YouTube channel, explained in a recent conversation with Ranveer Allahbadia in a podcast.

“They were thinking about moving to London because they couldn’t enjoy their success here. We appreciate what they go through because anything they do attracts attention. We almost became isolated. Anushka and Virat are lovely people, and they just want to raise their kids normally.” He revealed.

Being out on tours for national commitments doesn’t make it easier for the players to be with their families for a long time. But Virat Kohli can find some time, having already retired from the shortest format of the game.
