‘Lagta hai khsushkhabri hai’ – Fans react as Virat Kohli flies back to Mumbai from Guwahati due to personal emergency

The players of the Indian Cricket team are currently preparing for the upcoming ODI World Cup 2023 in Guwahati. Their first warm-up game against England was washed out due to rain. However, it’d be interesting to see if they get to play in their 2nd warm-up game against the Netherlands or it will also get spoiled by rain.

Meanwhile, former India captain and the modern-day great Virat Kohli has flown back to Mumbai amid news of an emergency concerning his wife, Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma. The couple, known for their power-packed performances in their respective fields, is reportedly expecting their second child and the news has taken the cricketing world by storm just days before the much-anticipated ODI World Cup 2023.

Kohli, who was in Guwahati with the Indian cricket team for the ODI World Cup warm-up matches, is now likely to miss India’s second warm-up game due to this unforeseen development. While the exact nature of the emergency has not been disclosed, sources close to the couple have suggested that it’s related to Anushka’s second pregnancy.

India to play their first World Cup match against Australia

Fans and well-wishers have flooded social media with messages of support and prayers for the couple during this challenging time. Kohli, who is known for his dedication and commitment to both cricket and his family, has always made it clear that family comes first.

The Indian cricket team and management have expressed their understanding and support for Kohli’s decision, emphasising the importance of family in these moments. It remains to be seen when the cricketing superstar will rejoin the team and how this situation will impact India’s preparations for the ODI World Cup.

The cricketing fraternity, as well as fans worldwide, will be keeping a close eye on further developments and hoping for a positive outcome for the Kohli family. India’s first match of the World Cup will be against Australia on October 8 and the presence of Kohli is surely needed to secure a win against the mighty Kangaroos.
