The beloved Indian cricket player, Virat Kohli, and his spouse, Anushka Sharma, happily shared news of their second baby’s birth. They shared this joyous announcement on Tuesday, February 20, through social media. Kohli stated they welcomed a son, named Akaay, on February 15.
Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma married in 2017 in an intimate wedding in Italy. Vamika is the couple’s first child, born on January 11, 2021.
Kohli took time off from the present Test series against England to be with his wife for the birth of their second kid. On Tuesday, he announced on his official Instagram. His words were for his faithful fans worldwide. The post reads:
“With abundant happiness and our hearts full of love, we are pleased to inform everyone that on 15th February, we welcomed our baby boy Akaay & Vamika’s little brother into this world! We seek your blessings and good wishes in this beautiful time in our lives. We request you to kindly respect our privacy at this time. Love & Gratitude. Virat & Anushka.”

Fans have been concerned since Virat Kohli withdrew from the Test series against England, citing personal concerns, given his enthusiasm and affection for the red ball game. However, his most recent message confirming the excellent news brought everyone relief and delight.
A few fans donned inventive headwear and took advantage of the chance to create some humorous memes about the situation. There were some jokes about AB de Villiers, who mistakenly leaked the material on YouTube a few weeks ago.
The caption for one post read:

“It was a good experience”- Naseem Shah on bowling to Virat Kohli in his debut match
The young speedster Naseem Shah of Pakistan looks back at his T20I debut. It was against India during the 2022 Asia Cup in Dubai. He faced Virat Kohli for his first bowling. This event was a stepping stone for Shah. It gave him lessons in dealing with stress at the start of his professional journey. Naseem Shah shares this on the Islamabad United Podcast:
“When Virat Kohli came in to bat, I thought he would go hard. So I bowled an in-swinger hoping that it might catch his pad but he let it go. The next delivery I bowled an out-swinger, caught the edge but yeah, the catch got dropped. But it was a good experience because when you make your debut against a big team and under so much pressure then you get a margin in other matches.”

Naseem Shah will most likely have another chance to face Kohli in the 2024 T20 World Cup later this year.
