The cricketer shares a fresh picture with Anushka Sharma on New Year’s Day, drawing love from fans as the couple continues to keep their personal life graceful and low-key.
Virat Kohli rang in 2026 on a heartwarming note by sharing a new photograph with his wife, actor Anushka Sharma. Taking to Instagram on Thursday, the Indian cricketer posted a stylish picture of the couple smiling and holding each other, instantly winning over fans online.
In the photo, Virat looked sharp in a white shirt paired with a blue blazer and trousers, while Anushka dazzled in a black outfit with her hair left open. Keeping things minimal, Virat captioned the post with just a star emoji, letting the picture speak for itself.
A day earlier, on December 31, Virat had also shared a sweet moment with Anushka, writing, “Stepping into 2026 with the light of my life.” Fans flooded both posts with admiration, calling the duo “couple goals” and praising their effortless chemistry.
A memorable year for Virat Kohli
2025 proved to be a landmark year for Virat Kohli both personally and professionally. He finally lifted his maiden IPL trophy with Royal Challengers Bengaluru, ending an 18-year wait for the franchise. On the international front, Virat continued his stellar form, scoring back-to-back ODI centuries against South Africa. His 135-run knock in Ranchi marked his 53rd ODI century and 84th international hundred, placing him just behind Sachin Tendulkar’s all-time record of 100 centuries.
Spiritual visit and family life
In December, Virat and Anushka were spotted in Nainital, where they visited spiritual leader Premanand Maharaj. A video shared on the guru’s official YouTube channel showed the couple attending his sermon, reflecting their inclination towards spirituality.
Married in a private ceremony in Italy in 2017, Virat and Anushka are parents to two children, Vamika and Akaay. Known for maintaining a dignified distance from excessive media attention, the couple prefers to keep their family life away from the spotlight. They celebrated their eighth wedding anniversary on December 11.
On the work front, Anushka Sharma was last seen in Zero (2018). Although she later shot for Chakda Xpress, the film has reportedly been shelved.
