Virat Kohli
may have stepped away from Test cricket, but he hasn't stepped out of the spotlight entirely. As India battles England in an ongoing Test series, the cricket icon has opted for a quiet retreat in London with wife
Anushka Sharma
and their two children, Vamika and Akaay.
Choosing family time and privacy over packed stadiums and cricketing chaos, Kohli is embracing a slower pace of life—far from the frenzy that usually surrounds him back home.
According to reports, the Kohli-Sharma family has headed to London, choosing to stay under the radar. Virat is reportedly keeping a low profile, living just a few miles from the stadium where he once dominated the pitch.
As per The Telegraph, Vamika's dad is intentionally keeping his distance from the ongoing cricket action, even though he's just a short distance away from the stadium where the Shubman Gill-led Indian team is facing off against England.
Kohli also gave the World Test Championship final a miss, along with skipping the MCC's World Cricket Connects symposium held at the stadium.
While Virat Kohli has carved his name as one of India's greatest batsmen—shattering records and rewriting history—his personal sanctuary lies far from home, in the quiet corners of London.
The cricketer and his actress-wife Anushka Sharma are often seen enjoying the city's simple pleasures—taking strolls, dining out, and even riding the Tube.

It's a kind of normalcy that would be nearly impossible back in India, given their towering celebrity status.
The cricketer has often expressed his fondness for the privacy he enjoys abroad, calling it 'one of the reasons to settle on foreign soil.' According to reports, Virat, along with Anushka, Vamika, and baby Akaay, is currently residing in London's upscale Notting Hill neighborhood.
Despite his fiery and passionate persona on the field, Virat Kohli maintains a quiet, grounded, and minimal lifestyle off it—especially when abroad.
Speaking of cricket, Kohli was reportedly offered a chance to play a season by Middlesex County, but he has yet to respond to the invitation. The last time fans saw him on the field was donning the RCB jersey, celebrating the team's long-awaited title win.

Meet Shubh, the second Punjabi artiste after Diljit Dosanjh to grace Billboard Canada and sell out North American arenas
Shubh, the India-born, Brampton-based Punjabi singer, has made history by becoming the second Indian and second Punjabi artiste to appear solo on the cover of Billboard Canada. The only other Indian artist to receive this honour is global icon Diljit Dosanjh. This milestone marks a turning point not just for Shubh, but for Punjabi music worldwide. It signals a growing global appreciation for regional Indian sounds, with Shubh at the forefront of this movement. Coinciding with his Billboard feature, Shubh is set to begin his debut North American tour this August. The tour will begin at Oakland Arena on August 22, followed by Vancouver's Rogers Arena on August 23, and a major show at Toronto's Scotiabank Arena on September 5 - a stage once graced by legends like Eminem. The tour wraps up at the Prudential Center in New Jersey on September 7. 'I never expected this,' Shubh says about the arena tour. 'But I'm very happy that we're performing in arenas.' He also recalls his first concert in 2023 at Indigo at the O2 in London. 'My voice was shaking,' he admits. 'I was very hyped up, but it also humbled me down.' Earlier this year, Shubh released 'Sicario', a 10-track album that debuted at No. 24 on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart. The album, with over 250 million streams, blends Punjabi lyrics with modern hip-hop. Tracks like 'Buckle Up' and 'Aura' highlight his versatility. Following Sicario, his single Supreme became a viral hit. It debuted on the Billboard Canadian Hot 100, hit No. 1 on Apple Music India and Canada, and continues to stream over 1 million times a day on Spotify. Shubh's rise shows that Punjabi music is not only thriving but going global.
