Virat Kohli’s frequent visits to London in the past year have sparked conversations across social media platforms. Despite his usual trips to the city post Team India’s cricketing commitments, Kohli chose to stay back this time after the Test series against New Zealand to celebrate his 36th birthday with his wife, Anushka Sharma. Reports suggest that despite India’s disappointing 0-3 series loss to New Zealand, Kohli appeared cheerful as he posed for photographs.
Virat and Anushka kicked off India star’s 36th birthday festivities, as depicted in several photos and videos making rounds on social media. According to a report by Hindustan Times, the couple celebrated together at Kohli’s One8 Commune restaurant chain.

In 2024, India emerged victorious in the T20 World Cup; however, this hasn’t been Kohli’s best year in terms of performance and personal achievements. The renowned batsman has encountered difficulties in scoring runs across all formats. Even during the T20 World Cup, Kohli faced challenges in making significant contributions, except for the remarkable final against South Africa.
During the Test series against New Zealand that just concluded, Kohli failed to surpass a total of 100 runs. His performance has sparked doubts about his future with the team. Despite stepping down from T20 internationals, concerns linger over Virat’s place in the Indian Test squad.
What lies ahead for Virat Kohli?
Kohli has already secured his spot for India’s upcoming tour of Australia, where Rohit Sharma’s squad is set to participate in 5 Test matches. While Kohli’s passion for Australia is well-known among his supporters, his current form is not exactly promising.
Should Kohli fail to reverse the tide and spearhead India’s batting in Australia, some fear that Test retirement might loom on the horizon for the iconic cricketer, despite experts anticipating a resurgence from him.
