Rajkumar Sharma, Virat Kohli’s childhood coach, has confirmed that the cricketer, his wife Anushka Sharma, and their children Vamika and Akaay are set to move to London soon. Sharma didn’t dwell much on further details but hinted that Kohli would be leaving India and shifting base to the UK, where he eventually plans on spending the rest of his life post-retirement.
Over the last couple of years, Kohli has been spotted in London frequently; in fact, their son Akaay was born in the city earlier this year on February 15. The couple owns a property in London and will most likely live there once the move is complete.
“Yes, Virat plans to move to London with his children and wife, Anushka Sharma. He is going to be leaving India and shifting very soon. However, right now, Kohli is spending most of his time with his family apart from cricket,” Sharma told Dainik Jagran.
Kohli and family were in London for the most part this year. After his son’s birth, Kohli returned after India won the T20 World Cup in June. Although he returned for the ODI series against Sri Lanka in July, Kohli boarded the flight to the UK and stayed there till August. He returned to India for the start of their home season – two Tests against Bangladesh, followed by three more against New Zealand. After India lost 0-3 to the Kiwis, Kohli and his family have remained in India ever since, celebrating his birthday with his loved ones.
