Virat Kohli Seen Chatting With Locals In London, Video Goes Viral
Last Updated: Kohli, who is one of the greatest batters of all time, lives in London now with his wife, Anushka Sharma, and two kids – Vamika and Akaay. Legendary Indian batter and former captain Virat Kohli lives in London now with his wife, Anushka Sharma, and two kids – Vamika and Akaay. The Delhi-born cricketer moved to the European city sometime back. Since the conclusion of IPL 2025, he has not returned to India. He last made a public appearance during an event organised by former India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh in London last month. Kohli, who is expected to feature for India in the three-match ODI series against the Australia team in October 2025, was recently spotted strolling through the streets of London with his wife, Anushka. In the clip going viral on the internet, Kohli can also be seen chatting with locals and sharing a laugh. Virat Kohli And @AnushkaSharma Spotted Strolling Through The Streets Of London.💖.... #Virushka @imVkohli — virat_kohli_18_club (@KohliSensation) August 17, 2025 Kohli, who ended his 18-year-long wait for winning an IPL title with Royal Challengers Bengaluru on June 4 in Ahmedabad, announced his retirement from Test cricket on May 12, 2025. He took to Instagram to share a post which confirmed his exit from the five-day format of the game. During his 14-year-long Test career, Kohli played 123 Tests for India and, with the help of 30 centuries and 31 fifties, amassed a total of 9230 runs. He finished his career as the fourth leading run scorer for India in Tests and also holds the record for winning the most Tests as India captain. Under Kohli's leadership, India played 68 Test matches from 2014 to 2021 and won 40. Kohli, who has more than 27,500 runs to his name in international cricket, had retired from T20Is last year. On June 29, 2024, after India defeated South Africa by seven runs in the final of the T20 World Cup 2024, Kohli, while speaking during the post-match presentation ceremony, said that he is stepping away from the shortest format of the game. Kohli, who is all set to be part of India's ODI squad for the Australia series in October, will have a chance to break Kumar Sangakkara's record and become the second leading run-getter in the 50-over format of the game. During his playing days, Sangakkara scored 14,234 runs in 404 matches, whereas Kohli has 14,181 runs to his name in 302 ODIs. He needs to score 54 more runs to go past Sangakkara's tally. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

A camel for Cristiano Ronaldo? Saudi journalist marks footballer's engagement with unique gift
Ibrahim Al Faryan is a Saudi media personality who has covered six World Cup tournaments and holds an honorary doctorate in combating sports fanaticism/ Image: X Cristiano Ronaldo's engagement to longtime partner Georgina Rodríguez has prompted an extravagant gift from Saudi journalist Ibrahim Al Faryan, a camel, symbolizing both celebration and regional tradition. The gesture adds to Al Faryan's growing list of high-profile offerings, underscoring his prominent presence in Saudi Arabia's sports and media circles. A camel for the 'Great one': A personal tribute from Ibrahim Al Faryan Cristiano Ronaldo's recent engagement to Georgina Rodríguez has received global attention, and in Saudi Arabia, the celebration took a uniquely regional turn. Ibrahim Al Faryan, a widely recognized Saudi media personality, marked the occasion by gifting Ronaldo a camel, a gesture he publicly announced on his account on X (formerly Twitter). 'This is my gift to you on the occasion of your marriage,' Al Faryan posted. 'The news has brought joy to us all, great one. Your gift will be in Riyadh when you return. Congratulations to you and Georgina.' His message was addressed directly to Ronaldo, acknowledging the couple's new milestone and offering a gift that is culturally rich and deeply symbolic in the region. Ronaldo and Rodríguez have not publicly disclosed a wedding date, but confirmation of their engagement came directly from Rodríguez through a post featuring a large ring and the caption in Spanish: 'Yes I do. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The 5 Books Warren Buffett Recommends You To Read in 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo In this and in all my lives.' The couple's relationship began in 2016 in Madrid, where Rodríguez was working as a sales assistant at a Gucci store. Ronaldo, then playing for Real Madrid, met her during a visit. As Rodríguez has described in past interviews, their connection was immediate, 'love at first sight. ' Since then, they have built a shared life spanning multiple countries and clubs, from Spain to Italy and now Saudi Arabia. Not his first gesture: Al Faryan's history of high-profile gifts This is not the first time Ibrahim Al Faryan has made headlines for a notable gift to a football star. In August 2023, two years before the camel gift, he presented Brazilian midfielder Fabinho with a Rolex watch following his debut match for Al-Ittihad in the Saudi Pro League. The moment, which unfolded at King Abdullah Sports City in Jeddah, was captured on video and quickly went viral across social media platforms. As Fabinho exited the stadium, Al Faryan approached and personally fastened the watch onto the player's wrist. Fabinho appeared surprised but appreciative, smiling, thanking the journalist, and shaking his hand. The watch was given in celebration of Fabinho's entry into Saudi football after his transfer from Liverpool. Al Faryan, known for his extensive coverage of international football, has attended six FIFA World Cup tournaments as part of his media career. Beyond journalism, he holds an honorary doctorate in combating sports fanaticism from the American University and is also involved in business management. His reputation in the sports community extends not just through his reporting but also through gestures like these that reflect both generosity and a strong personal interest in the region's evolving football culture.
