Former Indian cricket captain and legendary batsman Virat Kohli has been dedicating time to spiritual pursuits away from the cricket field. Recently, Virat and his wife, actress Anushka Sharma, were seen visiting the ashram of Premanand Baba in Vrindavan.
In a second visit within a week, the couple returned to Vrindavan, where they visited the revered Radha Vallabh Lal Ji temple, a prominent shrine of the Radhavallabh sect. They were also spotted at the ashram of Premanand Maharaj's Gurudev. A video of their visit has since gone viral on social media.
Virat Kohli's spiritual guide, Premanand Maharaj, is a well-known figure in the Radha Vallabh sect, which holds Radha Rani as the supreme goddess. Premanand Maharaj's spiritual journey began at the Radha Vallabh Lal Ji temple in Vrindavan.
Virat Kohli under immense pressure
Virat Kohli has been enduring a prolonged lean patch with the bat. After a lackluster performance in the three-Test series against New Zealand on home soil, he struggled again in Australia in Border-Gavaskar Test series, scoring just 190 runs across five Tests.
Speculation is rife that Kohli might turn to Ranji Trophy to regain his form and confidence in red-ball cricket. With ICC Champions Trophy 2025 and a five-Test series against England approaching, these upcoming fixtures are seen as crucial for Kohli's place in the Indian cricket team.
