Virat Kohli met his brother Vikas Kohli, sister Bhawna Kohli Dhingra, and niece and nephews after reaching the team hotel ITC Maurya in New Delhi after arriving from Barbados on Thursday, July 4. The family met Kohli at the hotel because of Team India’s tight schedule for the day.
The 2024 T20 World Cup champions will meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi at 11 AM IST before leaving for Mumbai for a victory parade from Nariman Point to Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai at 5 PM IST.
In a post shared by Bhawna on Instagram, Virat can be seen with his brother Vikas and other loved ones. She captioned the post:
"Celebrating the win, SUPERPROUD."
Virat Kohli lives with his actress wife Anushka Sharma in Mumbai. Thus, the ace batter ensures that he spends quality time with his brother and mother when he stays in New Delhi.
Virat Kohli played a big role in India lifting the 2024 T20 World Cup
Virat Kohli played a huge role in helping Rohit Sharma-led India lift the 2024 T20 World Cup. The right-handed batter overcame his lean patch to play his best knock of the tournament in the final against South Africa.
The 35-year-old scored 76 runs off 59 balls with the help of two sixes and six boundaries. He also shared crucial partnerships with Axar Patel and Shivam Dube to post a fighting 176-run total against the Proteas. His knock helped the Men in Blue win the game by seven runs. The victory ended India's 11-year ICC trophy drought since they won their previous title in 2013 (Champions Trophy).
Following the match, Kohli announced his retirement from T20Is alongside India skipper Rohit Sharma and all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja. He will continue to take part in Tests and ODIs.
With the 2024 T20 World Cup, Virat Kohli has won all white-ball ICC trophies, including the 2011 ODI World Cup, the 2013 Champions Trophy, and the 2008 U19 World Cup.
He will now have his eyes set on the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) title, which India failed to win in the first two cycles, losing to New Zealand and Australia in the finals, respectively.
