Virat-Anushka seek solace at Premanand Maharaj's ashram post his retirement

Just a day after shocking fans with his announcement to retire from Test cricket, Virat Kohli was spotted with wife Anushka Sharma in Vrindavan, seeking blessings and spiritual peace. The couple, known for their deep-rooted faith and spiritual inclination, once again turned to the divine for comfort and reflection in this transitional phase of Virat's career.

On Tuesday, several videos surfaced on social media showing the power couple cruising through Vrindavan in a local cab, keeping things low-key. Dressed in very causal outfits and wearing face masks, Virat and Anushka looked calm and composed as they made their way to the ashram of Shri Premanand Govind Sharan Ji Maharaj, a spiritual guru they've visited multiple times over the years.

The video snippets capture them stepping out of their cab and quickly entering the peaceful premises of the ashram, keeping the visit private and grounded. While their children, Vamika and Akaay, often accompany them on such spiritual retreats, this time the duo was spotted alone, perhaps taking a quiet moment for themselves amidst a significant career milestone for Virat. While Anushak was seen in a simple salwar suit with a dupatta draped around her head, Virat was seen in a formal full-sleeved shirt, something he doesn't usually wear.

This isn't the first time Virat and Anushka have leaned into their spiritual side. Over the years, their frequent visits to spiritual leaders and satsangs have showcased a deeper, personal layer of their personalities.

The visit came shortly after Virat's heartfelt announcement on Instagram where he wrote about his journey in Test cricket, calling it a format that "tested, shaped, and taught" him. His words, "#269, signing off," left fans emotional as he wrapped up a 14-year-long era.

Anushka, in her signature graceful style, shared a moving note praising her husband's silent strength and dedication. "They'll talk about the records and the milestones, but I'll remember the tears you never showed…" she wrote, offering a glimpse into the emotional strength behind Virat's success.

As one chapter closes for Virat, it's clear both he and Anushka are embracing this new phase with gratitude, peace, and spirituality choosing faith as their compass in times of change.
