Virat Kohli and his wife, Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma, turned heads at Wimbledon 2025 as they enjoyed a thrilling Men’s Round of 16 encounter between Novak Djokovic and Australia’s Alex de Minaur. Currently based in London with their children, Vamika and Akaay, the couple was seen soaking in the Centre Court atmosphere, adding a splash of star power to the tennis grand slam.
The match lived up to its billing as Djokovic, despite losing the first set 1-6, bounced back in classic fashion, clinching the next three sets 6-4, 6-4, 6-4. De Minaur briefly threatened a comeback, leading 4-2 in the fourth set, but the Serbian maestro held his nerve and powered through. Djokovic now stands just one win away from equaling Margaret Court’s all-time record of 25 Grand Slam titles.

This wasn’t the couple’s first Wimbledon visit. In 2015, Kohli and Anushka were spotted alongside cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar and his wife Anjali, watching an epic semi-final clash featuring Federer and Djokovic. Icons like Thierry Henry and Sir Alex Ferguson were also present that day, making it a star-studded spectacle.
