Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli had announced that they were expecting a baby in August 2020. The couple turned parents to a beautiful daughter on January 11, 2021. Virat is now often accompanied by wife Anushka daughter Vamika on his cricket tours. A picture of Virat posing with his team member, with Vamika's burp cloth on his shoulder, had gone viral on the internet with fans showering the doting dad with love. In the past six months, Anushka and Virat have refrained from sharing any pictures of Vamika on social media. Explaining the reason for it, Virat had shared, “We have decided as a couple to not expose our child to social media before she has an understanding of what social media is and can make her own choice”.
