While the couple has two babies, they are very strict about their children’s privacy and safety.

Vamika Kohli: Virat Kohli’s daughter
The first child of Virat, the couple was blessed with a baby girl back on 11 January 2021. Being the first child, a girl’s arrival was a moment full of happiness and blessing for them, and so they named her ‘Vamika’. The name is associated with Goddess Durga who is hailed as one of the most powerful gods in Hindu mythology.
Akaay Kohli: Virat Kohli’s son
On 15 February 2024, the couple welcomed their second child, a boy named Akaay. They kept the news highly secret and announced the development through a social media post. The name has a very unique meaning as it states – ‘something which is unshaped on without a body’. Intriguingly, this name has a ‘Turkish’ connection as well. ‘Akaay’ in Turkish means shining moon.
Though the couple shares a sneak peek into their life on social media, they refrain from posting any pictures of their kids. Moreover, Virat has been involved in various heated arguments with the journalists and paparazzi who tried to snap the picture of Vamika and Akaay.
A recent of such incident happened during India’s tour of Australia for the Border Gavaskar Trophy 2024/25. The former Indian captain got involved in a heated world war with one of the journalists of Australian media at the Airport. Following the incident, the Indian cricketer clarified that he just stopped the cameramen from clicking the pictures of his kids.
It is worth noting that Virat, alongside his family, is now often spotted in London. Various reports have suggested that the right-handed batter might permanently shift to London, as he has feels more ease of life there. Many times it has been noticed that the responsibilities of parenting have brought calmness and demeanor into the aggressive approach of Virat, who has been often spotted firing flames at his opponents.
As both Virat and Anushka embrace the joy and challenges of parenting, their fans around the globe keep marking their unwavering support to them. While they enjoy a lot of support, some of their critics have made sloppy remarks about their children, which is one of the main reasons that they keep their kids’ identities away from social media due to safety measures.
