A day after announcing his retirement from Test cricket, Virat Kohli, along with his wife Anushka Sharma, made a serene visit to the Kelly Kunj Ashram in Vrindavan. They sought blessings from Premanand Maharaj, a spiritual leader they’ve grown close to over the years. This visit marked Kohli’s third time at the ashram, with previous ones taking place in January 2023 and January 2025. Over time, Premanand Maharaj has often spoken highly of Anushka’s positive influence on Kohli, crediting her for helping him stay grounded and spiritually aligned despite the immense pressures of his cricketing life. The quiet, reflective nature of the visit stood in sharp contrast to the storm of reactions that followed Kohli’s retirement announcement just a day before.
