Kohli, in an Instagram chat with with former England captain Kevin Pietersen on Instagram Live in April, had said that he is enjoying spending time at home with wife amid the lockdown. At the time, India was under complete nationwide lockdown, and both Kohli and Anushka were spending all their time at home.

“We are at home. It’s been difficult. It’s been intense. All over the world, We do have space. We went away to a farm before everything got intense. It is great we have a space to walk out. We have to be grateful. People are going through so much these days. It’s tough to watch,” Kohli had said.

“It is the longest we have spent together at one place since we have been married. We have never been at one place for so long at same time. It’s bizarre. It’s not a good thing to single out this as an opportunity to spend time. But it is what it is . We have to be positive and we are being cautious. These are strange times,” he had added.
