Virat Kohli’s family arrived at Delhi’s ITC Maurya hotel on Thursday morning to welcome the cricketer back home from Barbados. Kohli, along with Team India, had been stranded on the Caribbean island after winning the T20 World Cup due to Hurricane Beryl, which had shut down airports and confined the team to their hotel rooms in Barbados after the T20 WC final.
Virat Kohli’s brother, Vikas Kohli, and his sister, Bhawna Kohli Dhingra, arrived at the five-star hotel in Delhi to welcome him in the morning. The India squad spent the morning at ITC Maurya before heading to meet PM Narendra Modi at his residence in the afternoon.
Bhawna Kohli Dhingra shared a series of photographs on Instagram showing the cricketer with his family, including his nephews and nieces. “Celebrating the win. Super proud,” she captioned the photos.
Virat Kohli’s wife, Bollywood actor Anushka Sharma, left a heart emoji in the comments section of the post.
Take a look at the Instagram post and Anushka Sharma’s reaction below:
Anushka Sharma was not in Barbados for the thrilling World Cup final where India defeated South Africa to claim the trophy. She is based in Mumbai.
Kohli, who was born and raised in Delhi, is the youngest of three siblings, while Sharma spent much of her childhood in Bengaluru.
The couple married in December 2017 and welcomed their first child, a daughter named Vamika, in January 2021. In February this year, Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma were blessed with a baby boy named Akaay.
Team India reached Delhi on Thursday morning on a special Air India flight arranged by BCCI secretary Jay Shah. After their meeting with PM Modi in Delhi, the team traveled to Mumbai for a grand victory parade.
