Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma welcomed their second child, Akaay, on February 15. The couple’s Instagram post announcing the arrival of their baby boy is flooded with congratulatory messages from fans and celebs. Now, an old interview of Virat is going viral on social media in which he talked about having kids and giving his quality time to his family.
In his interview with ESPN, Virat said that whenever he gets married, he would like to allocate his time to his wife and kids.“I have a life, a family, and kids. They deserve all my time. That is clear and close to my heart. I want no part of my career being flashed into my house. I want no part of my trophies, my achievements, nothing in my house when our kids are growing up,” Virat explained. In the same interview, he credited Anushka for bringing peace and calm into his life.
On February 20, Anushka and Virat shared a note on their Instagram, “With abundant happiness and our hearts full of love, we are pleased to inform everyone that on February 15, we welcomed our baby boy Akaay & Vamika’s little brother into this world! We seek your blessings and good wishes in this beautiful time in our lives. We request you to kindly respect our privacy at this time. Love & Gratitude. Virat & Anushka.”

Talking about Virat’s absence from India Vs. England Test matches, his friend and South African cricketer AB de Villiers had earlier shared in a live session on his official YouTube channel that the couple was expecting their second child, so Virat could not make it to the match.
Anushka and Virat tied the knot with each other on December 11, 2017. They welcomed their first child, Vamika, in 2021.
