 Virat Kohli Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

Virat Kohli has made headlines again over the past few days, both for his personal life and his continuing influence as one of cricket’s biggest icons. Most strikingly, Virat surprised fans on Instagram by sharing a rare, intimate photo with his wife Anushka Sharma, captioned simply Been a minute. The photo, posted from London where the couple is currently settled, sent the internet into a frenzy, drawing over five million likes within just two hours according to the Times of India, and eventually exceeding nine million as reported by India Blooms. In the photo, Virat is seen gently resting his cheek on Anushka’s forehead, both smiling for the camera, with Virat in a blue coat and Anushka in a grey sweater. Recent paparazzi snaps, as noticed in various outlets, also show them strolling through London with their son Akaay, Anushka stylishly sporting maroon leggings and Virat looking relaxed alongside her.

This social media moment struck a chord, especially since both maintain a lower public profile during off-seasons. Fans and celebrities alike filled the comments with praise, calling the duo King and Queen or simply Cuties together. Virat’s relationship with Anushka, which began in 2013 and led to their wedding in Italy in 2017, remains a center of curiosity, and their growing family—welcoming their daughter Vamika in 2021 and son Akaay earlier this year—keeps followers invested in all their updates.

On the business and work front, Kohli’s cricketing future remains very much in the spotlight. In May, he stunned India and the global cricket community by announcing his retirement from Test cricket concluding a career that spanned 123 Tests, yielded 9,230 runs, and included a record 40 wins as captain, making him India’s most successful Test leader, as detailed by Economic Times. His last Test match saw a tough series in Australia, with struggles outside off-stump marking his final innings in whites.

Virat now solely plays ODIs for India and is preparing for the upcoming ODI tour of Australia this October, where expectations are high given his stellar record down under. Meanwhile, his standing in the record books remains the subject of new debates; Indian Express notes that rising star Abhishek Sharma is on the verge of breaking Kohli’s record for most runs in a multi-nation T20 tournament, a record Kohli had set at the 2014 World Cup.

Although Virat and Anushka have kept business announcements private lately, Anushka’s delayed cricket biopic Chakda Xpress also lingers in the news cycle, with fans curious whether the project will see a release. No new business ventures or major public appearances outside their London family life have been reported in the last few days.

Whether Kohli is melting Instagram or fueling new cricketing storylines even in semi-retirement, his presence remains magnetic—a narrative woven from both intimate moments and lasting records.
