One of the most well-known and respected cricket players in the world is Virat Kohli. Every action, look, and photo he takes garners media attention, and admirers are constantly interested in learning more about his private life. He recently startled everyone by declaring that he was retiring from test cricket. Known for his steady play and ferocious enthusiasm for the game, his decision infuriated supporters. They chose to honor him by donning a white test jersey during his IPL team’s playoff game on May 17, 2025, because they wanted to see him play more. Rain forced its cancellation, but while tensions are still high, the former captain of the Indian cricket team was spotted relaxing at a pickleball play with his wife, Anushka Sharma, and RCB teammates.

The Royals Challengers Bengaluru Instagram account recently posted a number of images showing the staff and team members lounging and playing a casual pickleball match. Virat Kohli’s laughter and high five to his wife, Anushka Sharma, in the first photo also provided fans a glimpse of his playful side. Other players brought their families to spend some time off the cricket pitch during the friendly match, which was played after RCB’s previous game was canceled due to rain.

In addition to former cricket player and RCB guru Virat Kohli, Dinesh Karthik’s wife, squash champion Dipika Pallikal, supported him during the game. Meanwhile, additional players took part in the game, including Phil Salt, Romario Shepherd, Yash Dayal, and Bhuvneshwar Kumar. Anushka Sharma wore a white, half-sleeved sporty T-shirt, black sports shoes, and maroon leggings in the photos. Virat, however, was dressed in black shorts, black sports shoes, and a bright blue sporty T-shirt.

Fans showered the comments section with their admiration for Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma after their photo together, along with other RCB players, quickly became viral. After declaring his retirement from cricket’s longest format, Virat Kohli began playing a new sport. One internet user complimented this move, writing, “Bro already started playing a new sport, Olympics medal coming soon.” Since she hadn’t been spotted at any of the team’s games, another user expressed excitement at Anushka’s appearance to the RCB camp by writing, “Finally the Queen has arrived.” Concurrently, a fan remarked, “This indicates that Anushka will be attending the next match and supporting RCB.” The person also questioned whether Anushka will attend the forthcoming playoff games.

Virat Kohli:

Virat Kohli has never hidden the fact that his favorite game format is test cricket. He took over as test captain when India was having trouble with the format and turned it around. He is recognized for having changed the face of Test cricket in India and holds a record of winning the most matches worldwide. However, he surprised everyone by declaring his retirement from the test format prior to India’s June 2025 five-match tour of England.
