Mathura, May 13 — A day after announcing his retirement from Test cricket, Indian cricket star Virat Kohli, accompanied by his wife and actress Anushka Sharma, visited the revered spiritual leader Premanand Govind Sharan Ji Maharaj at his ashram in Vrindavan.
As per agency report, Kohli and Sharma arrived at the ashram early Tuesday morning and stayed for approximately three and a half hours. A video shared on social media platform X showed the couple receiving blessings from the spiritual leader and engaging in a brief conversation, during which the saint inquired if Kohli was happy following his recent decision.
This marked Kohli’s third visit to the ashram, having previously visited on January 10 earlier this year and once before on January 4, 2023. During their time at the ashram, the couple maintained a low profile, arriving in an Innova vehicle with face masks on for privacy.
Sources from the ashram confirmed that following their interaction with Sant Premanand, the couple toured the premises and gathered information about various activities and initiatives run by the ashram. Before departing, they also visited the nearby Varaha Ghat to pay respects at the shrine of Sant Premanand’s spiritual mentor, Gaurangi Sharan Maharaj.
Kohli’s visit came shortly after his emotional farewell to the longest format of the game, in which he played 123 Test matches and earned recognition as one of India’s most successful captains. The visit to the spiritual retreat seemed to be a moment of peace and reflection for the cricketing legend and his wife.
