Kohli spends quality time with his wife
Rumors suggested that Kohli and Anushka were in England to give birth to his son.
Kohli said being normal for two months was a “surreal experience.”
“We were not in the country. We were in a place where people were not recognizing us. Just time together as a family, just to feel normal for two months – for me, my family – it was a surreal experience. Of course, having two kids, things become totally different from a family perspective. Just the ability to be together, the connections you make with your older child,” he said.
“Couldn’t have been more grateful to God for the opportunity to spend time with the family. It’s an amazing experience to just be another person on the road and not be recognized. That’s the promise I can give here – I’ll keep turning up and keep trying my best.”
Kohli resumed his cricketing duties, joining the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) squad this IPL season.
The star batter hopes to lead RCB to its first-ever IPL title.
