Anushka Sharma was not present in Barbados for the nail-biting World Cup final where India defeated South Africa to take the trophy. She is based in Mumbai.

Kohli, born and raised in Delhi, is the youngest of three siblings, while Sharma spent a large part of her childhood in Bengaluru.

The couple got married in December 2017 and welcomed their first child, a daughter named Vamika, in January 2021. In February this year, Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma were blessed with a baby boy whom they named Akaay.

Team India reached Delhi on Thursday morning on a special Air India flight arranged by BCCI secretary Jay Shah. After their meeting with PM Modi in Delhi, the team reached Mumbai for a grand victory parade.
