The heartening news resonated not only in India, but also sparked celebrations in Pakistan.

Fans on both sides of the border showered the couple with congratulations, and in Pakistan, enthusiasts went a step further, distributing sweets to mark the joyous occasion. What’s particularly noteworthy is the wish of fans in Pakistan for young Akaay to carry on his father’s cricketing legacy and possibly break his records on the field.
“With abundant happiness and our hearts full of love, we are pleased to inform everyone that on 15th February, we welcomed our baby boy Akaay & Vamika’s little brother into this world! We seek your blessings and good wishes in this beautiful time in our lives. We request you to kindly respect our privacy at this time,” shared Virat Kohli on social media.

This cross-border celebration highlights the universal appeal of cricket and the deep admiration that fans have for their favourite players, transcending national boundaries. Virat Kohli, who had initially opted out of the first two Tests against England citing personal reasons, later withdrew from the entire series. His last on-field appearance was in January during the second Test against South Africa in Cape Town, where India secured a seven-wicket victory. Kohli contributed with scores of 46 and 12 in the two innings.
As the cricketing world eagerly awaits Virat Kohli’s return to the field, the birth of Akaay adds a new chapter to the Kohli-Anushka family saga. With Vamika already capturing the hearts of many, fans are excited to witness the growth of the Kohli family and the potential emergence of another cricketing prodigy in Akaay, much like Arjun Tendulkar following in the footsteps of his legendary father, Sachin Tendulkar. Currently, India leads the five-match Test series against England 2-1, adding to the celebratory atmosphere surrounding the Kohli family.
