Indiathe star cricketer Virat Kohli and his wife Anushka Sharma visited spiritual guru Premanand Ji Maharaj at Vrindavan Dham to seek his divine blessings. Kohli and Anushka’s two children Vamika and Akaay also joined them on the trip.
In a video that has gone viral on social media, Virat and Anushka paid homage to the spiritual guru and sought blessings. In the video, Anushka Sharma was seen having a conversation with Premanand Maharaj and asked him to give them prem-bhakti.
“Last time we came, I had some questions in my mind. I thought I would ask something, but everyone sitting there had asked you something like that. It’s like I’m talking to you inside our own heads,” said Anushka.
“The next day I would open Ekantik Vartalap (Premanand’s sermons streamed online) and someone or the other would ask the same question. I would like to request you to do prem-bhakti for us,” he added.

Premanand Maharaj’s response to Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli
Premanand Maharaj gave a heartfelt response on the occasion and praised the celebrity couple for their achievements. He said it was difficult for people with such fame to return to devotion, but commended the power couple for the way they lived.
“Both of you are very brave. To achieve all this in the world, turning to bhakti (devotion) is very difficult. I think you will definitely get the answer for your devotion,” he replied.
During this period, Virat Kohli was seen with his daughter Vamika while Anushka Sharma was with Akaay. This is the second time Kohli and Anushka are visiting Premanand Maharaj. They also visited in early January 2023.
Virat Kohli’s poor batting form against Australia
Virat Kohli also visited Vrindavan after the Border-Gavaskar Trophy where he endured a tough time with the bat. He scored just 190 runs in five Tests in the series to an average of 23.75.
Prior to this series, Kohli had a difficult home Test season where he scored 190 runs in five Tests against Bangladesh and New Zealand at an average of 21.33. His focus now shifts to the ODI format as he begins his preparation for the upcoming Champions Trophy, where he will have a big role to play for India.
His weakness outside the stumps was clearly exposed during the Test series against Australia where he was repeatedly dismissed in a similar manner. Kohli was caught behind his outside edge on all eight occasions, resulting in his worst Australian tour with the bat.
While Kohli had a disappointing series, India lost the series 1-3 as Australia reclaimed the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Australia finally broke the ten-year deadlock of winning the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
