'Daddy Cool:' Virat Kohli Video Calls Anushka Sharma, Blows Kisses To Kids After Match-Winning Knock In RCB vs PBKS
IPL 2024: Virat Kohli was seen on a video call with his family after steering RCB to a 4-wicket win over PBKS in Bengaluru on Monday (March 25).
Virat Kohli returned to the cricket field after a bit of a break, opening the batting for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in IPL 2024. While he could not make much of an impact with the bat in the tournament opener against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) where RCB succumbed to a 6-wicket defeat, his innings turnned out to be the difference between the two sides when RCB faced Punjab Kings (PBKS) at home on Monday (March 26).
Kohli made a splendid 77 off 49 deliveries, an innings studded with 11 fours and 2 sixes that helped Bengaluru chase down 178 with four balls to spare. Post his match-winning knock, Kohli was seen enjoying a video call with his family and he even blew flying kisses, probably to his kids as he recently became a father for the second time, with Anushka and Virat revealing that they had welcomed a baby boy Akaay into their lives on February 15.
A video of Kohli's video call has gone viral on social media:
