Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli Host Team India Stars in London
Just days before India’s much-anticipated Test series against England, Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma hosted a few familiar faces from Team India at their London home. The quiet afternoon gathering saw Shubman Gill, Rishabh Pant, and Mohammed Siraj drop by for a relaxed get-together on their day off, June 16. While it wasn’t an official team event, the meet-up carried its own quiet importance, especially as the team prepares for a new era without two of its senior most leaders.
With Virat now officially retired from Test cricket, and Rohit Sharma also stepping back from the format, the meeting marked more than just a casual catch up. It was a quiet moment of transition as Shubman Gill, soon to lead the side, looked visibly comfortable around his former captain. According to those in the room, cricket wasn’t the focus of conversation. Instead, it was stories, laughter, and easy companionship, something Anushka has often spoken about valuing most in their off-field lives.
Even though the cameras were nowhere in sight, the significance of the moment wasn’t lost. For Anushka, who has always supported Virat through every twist in his cricketing journey, watching him stay emotionally connected to the team despite stepping away from the pitch was especially meaningful. It was a simple day filled with tea, conversation, and old friends, but to those who know how much cricket has shaped their lives, it spoke volumes.
