For this special event, Indian skipper Virat Kohli wished to have his wife Anushka Sharma and daughter Vamika Kohli alongside him.
Before the commencement of the day-night Test, the President of India, Shri Ram Nath Kovind had performed bhumi pujan for the Sardar Patel Sports Conclave and inaugurated the stadium in the presence of other notable personalities including Home Minister Amit Shah, Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) secretary Jay Shah and Sports Minister Kiren Rijiju.

However, the recent reports have suggested that Kohli’s wife, Anushka Sharma along with her new-born travelled to Ahmedabad in a hush-hush manner and took a chartered flight to Motera Stadium. The fans can expect the presence of Anushka and Vamika in the stands cheering for the Indian skipper.
There are certain chances that Virat’s daughter will not make a public appearance as the couple had repeatedly mentioned that they wish to raise their child away from the public eye and aren’t keen about engaging her on social media. Virat and Anushka had also requested the reporters to refrain from clicking the pictures of their daughter till a certain age.
