Virat Kolhi announced on Monday that he had been blessed with a daughter, and that the baby and mother Anushka Sharma were doing good.
"We are thrilled to share with you that we have been blessed with a baby girl this afternoon. We thank you all for your love, prayers and good wishes.

Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma had tied the knot in a grand but extremely private ceremony in Italy on December 11, 2017. They had announced on August 27, 2020 that they were expecting their first baby in January.
The Indian Captain is currently on paternity leave after leading India in the First Test against Australia Down Under, and his deputy Ajinkya Rahane took over for the remaining matches.
Anushka Sharma, whose last film as an actress was Zero in 2018, produced ventures like Paatal Lok and Bulbbul last year.
