Heartwarming Father's Day Wishes from Virat Kohli's Children

A Special Father's Day Message

On June 15, while many celebrated Father's Day, the most touching tribute came from Virat Kohli's children. His one-year-old son, Akaay, crafted a heartfelt note for his father. Akaay, born on February 15, 2024, to cricketer Virat Kohli and actress Anushka Sharma, is the couple's second child, following their daughter Vamika. Although Anushka later deleted the post, Vamika's message remains on her Instagram.

“Take Your Test Retirement Back. Happy Father’s Day
-Akaay.” was the note shared by Anushka before it was removed.

“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.“ was another sweet message shared by Anushka.

Virat Kohli's Retirement from Test Cricket

On May 12, 2025, Virat Kohli announced his retirement from Test cricket, concluding a remarkable 14-year journey in the sport. He finished with an impressive tally of 9,230 runs across 123 matches, ranking as the fourth-highest run-scorer in Indian Test history. Kohli also holds the record for the most Test victories as an Indian captain, having led his team to 40 wins out of 68 matches.

Reasons Behind Kohli's Decision

Kohli's retirement followed a challenging tour in Australia, where he managed only 190 runs at an average of 23.75. Despite a strong start to his career, his performance declined in subsequent matches. Reflecting on his journey, Kohli acknowledged the difficulties of maintaining peak performance in his mid-30s and hinted that he might not return to Australia for future tours.

India's Quest for Victory in England

India has toured England 19 times but has only secured three Test series victories. The last win came 18 years ago under Rahul Dravid's captaincy. With this history, the team, led by Gill, is determined to break the drought and claim a Test series win in England.
