After a challenging cricketing tour in Australia, star cricketer Virat Kohli, accompanied by wife Anushka Sharma and their children, paid a visit to Premanand Maharaj Ji in Vrindavan. The couple interacted with the spiritual leader, who praised Kohli for his contributions to Indian cricket. A video of their visit has gone viral, resonating with fans across social media platforms.

This visit follows the couple's spiritual tradition, as they had earlier sought blessings at Neem Karoli Baba Ashram in Kainchi Dham during a similarly tough phase in Kohli's career.

Struggles in Australia

Kohli's recent tour of Australia was far from his best. Despite starting strong with a century in Perth, he managed a modest 190 runs across nine innings at an average of 23.75. Australian bowlers repeatedly exploited his vulnerability outside the off-stump, leading to eight dismissals.

The series wasn’t without controversy, as Kohli was involved in an altercation with young Australian batter Sam Konstas during the fourth Test in Melbourne. The two collided during an intense moment in the match, earning Kohli a 20% match fee fine for the unsportsmanlike conduct.

Additionally, Kohli expressed visible frustration at crowd behavior, responding to taunts and "sandpaper" gestures from spectators. His struggles in the series have led to speculation about his future in Test cricket, with some experts advocating a return to domestic cricket to regain form.

Looking Ahead: Champions Trophy 2025

With the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 starting on February 19, Kohli now shifts focus to white-ball cricket. Alongside Rohit Sharma, who also had a subdued performance in Australia, Kohli will play a key role in shaping India's batting lineup for the prestigious tournament. Fans remain hopeful that Kohli will rediscover his form and lead India to success on the global stage.
