[Watch] Virat Kohli spotted with Anushka Sharma and Vamika at team hotel in New YorkÂ
Team India stalwart Virat Kohli and his family members were recently spotted at the team hotel in New York. They are in the city for the ongoing 2024 T20 World Cup. India played their first match of the tournament this past Wednesday at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York.
The Men in Blue beat the Irish team comprehensively by eight wickets to get off the mark in style. Virat Kohli opened the innings with Rohit Sharma in the match but could not do much in the paltry chase of 97. He perished for 1(5) early in the chase, trying to play aggressively.
Kohli is coming into the World Cup in a rich vein of form after scoring heaps of runs in IPL 2024, where he won the orange cap. His fans will be hoping for a special knock from him in the next game of India on Sunday when they will face their arch-rivals Pakistan.
An X user recently shared a video to give a glimpse of Virat Kohli in the team hotel in the US. In it, he could be seen walking with his daughter Vamika and wife Anushka Sharma in the hotel while holding hands.

"This is not the last chance"- Kris Srikkant backs Virat Kohli to play in the 2026 T20 World Cup at home
Former Indian batter Kris Srikkanth reckons that Virat Kohli might continue to play in the T20 format till the World Cup in 2026, which will be hosted in India. He feels that Kohli's superior fitness would easily allow him to play another World Cup in the shortest format apart from the ongoing one.
Srikkanth said on his YouTube channel on the matter:
"Is this a last chance for them to win together as a team (with Rohit and Kohli), probably yes. Keep in mind, the 2026 T20 World Cup is in India. So everybody would like to play in India.
"As far as I am concerned, the kind of fitness Virat Kohli has, he can easily play until 2026. So 2026 could be Virat's last. For Virat Kohli, this is not the last chance. But he will be very keen because he has not won a T20 World Cup yet."
On another Indian senior batter Rohit Sharma, Srikkanth added:
"Whereas Rohit Sharma has won it in 2007. He wanted the ODI World Cup very badly, but he missed it. He will now be looking at the T20 World Cup, thinking he should win it for India as a captain. As a captain, winning the World Cup is a big thing."
