Fuel was added to the fire of these rumours yesterday, when Kohli immediately jetted off to London to reunite with his family after the victory parade in Mumbai.
Since then, several social media users began wondering anew whether Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma are planning to move out of India and settle down in the UK after the former’s retirement from cricket.

Here are 4 reasons why the internet thinks Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma are moving to London:
They’ve been spending a lot of time in the UK
Over the last few months, Virat Kohli and his wife, Anushka Sharma, have been photographed several times in and around London. In December 2023, Kohli took some time off from cricket to spend time with his family and flew to the UK. He and Anushka were then photographed at a London restaurant.
In February this year, Kohli was again spotted out and about in London with his daughter Vamika. A photo of the father-daughter duo at a London restaurant went viral days after Kohli and Anushka announced the birth of their son, Akaay.
Anushka Sharma was last spotted in Mumbai in early June, when she and Kohli were papped at the airport flying to New York for the T20 World Cup.
Akaay born in London?
Virat and Anushka announced the birth of their baby boy on February 20 – five days after he was actually born. The fact that the high-profile couple managed to keep news of their baby’s birth a closely guarded secret for five days led internet sleuths to conclude that he was delivered outside of India.
In fact, several reports published at the time suggested that Akaay Kohli was born in a UK hospital. Kohli missed the India vs England Test series and travelled to England for the birth of his second child, reports said. The 35-year-old was also photographed in London days after his son’s birth, which again strengthened these rumours.
