Anushka Sharma shares Akaay's adorable Fathers's Day wish for Virat Kohli, know the truth

India.com17-06-2025
Virat Kohli's offered a particularly endearing Father's Day message on June 15.
A pictorial representation of such a lie is spinning on the social media with a fake screenshot claiming that Anushka Sharma had shared the note written by her son Akaay urging Virat Kohli to withdraw his Test retirement. As a matter of fact, even Anushka simply posted a Father Day message on June 15, 2025, with an adorable message by their adorable daughter Vamika. No such plea had been made by Akaay, or any such address, so the viral screenshot is an out-and-out fake.
Vamika Kohli who is the daughter of Virat also gushed about her love to her dad. Their playful relation was outlined in her heartfelt message. 'He looks like my brother. He is funny. He tickles me. I play make up with him. I love him so much and he loves me this much (arms wide). Happy Father's Day - Vamika." Posted Anushka.
On May 12, 2025, Virat Kohli announced his retirement to Test cricket. His 14 years of career gathered 9,230 runs in 123 matches at an average of 46.9.
Before his retirement, Kohli had a tough Australian tour. Performance declined and he recognized that it was hard to stay in top shape through his mid 30s. A calculated stroke to conclude at a triumphant note.
India intends to break a 18 year long drought of winning the test series against England. They have played England 19 times resulting in only three series wins. An opportunity of a new generation to make history.
India is on a quest to end the 18-year drought in England, led by Shubman Gill. This was the last time it happened under the captaincy of Rahul Dravid. A major problem and a request to rise up.

"Played For RCB, Did Nothing": Ambati Rayudu Breaks Long Silence On Kevin Pietersen's 'Joker' Jibe

Former India batter Ambati Rayudu became the victim of a bizarre attack on live TV after ex-England captain Kevin Pietersen called him a 'joker' during the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 season. Ahead of the final between Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Sunrisers Hyderabad in the final, Rayudu and Pietersen had a bit of banter that saw the latter cross the line. Though Pietersen explained the 'joker' dig at Rayudu later on, the former India batter has now explained how much the controversy over the incident affected the Englishman. Pietersen's 'joker' jibe came after Rayudu said that he was supporting both teams in the final. Rayudu was earlier wearing an orange waistcoat before changing to purple, a move that annoyed Pietersen. "I have at least held firm. I wore it and I owned it. You are a joker, always a joker," Pietersen told Rayudu on air. "I am supporting both teams. I am supporting good cricket," Rayudu had responded to Pietersen's playful dig. No way Kevin Pietersen called Ambati Rayudu a Joker on live TV. #IPLFinal — RCBIANS OFFICIAL (@RcbianOfficial) May 27, 2024 "That day we had not picked teams. Chennai was hot, so I had two jackets. On air, he said whatever, but we could also tell him things because he played for RCB and did not do anything. I was maintaining professional decorum. He apologised later, also, for saying that on air. We were just having banter, but people took it in some way. But it affected him more and not me," Rayudu told Shubhankar Mishra during a podcast.
