After scoring 77 against Punjab Kings at the Chinnaswamy Stadium, Virat Kohli spoke up about his two-month hiatus in the post-match interview. Anushka Sharma gave birth to their second child during that period. Kohli missed India's home Test series against England because he and his family were away abroad.

Virat Kohli likes to stay unrecognized like any other “person”

Virat Kohli was asked many questions post-match, and when asked about his two-month hiatus, Kohli spoke about how happy and “grateful” he is to God. He expressed how good he felt when no one could recognize him for two months. Kohli also spoke about how fun it is for anyone to walk on the road like a normal person.


Kohli said, “We were not in the country. We were at a place where people were not recognising us. Just time together as a family, just to feel normal for two months. For me, for us as a family, it was a surreal experience.”

Kohli also added on how beautiful his experience was. “King” Kohli added, "But it was beautiful. It's an amazing experience to just be another person on the road and not be recognized and just carry on about life that normally people would on a daily basis.”
