Speculation relating to Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma’s possible permanent shifting to London has erupted once again, thereby reopening what has been doing rounds for many years now. These speculations gathered steam when Kohli, once the series against Sri Lanka ended, headed back to the United Kingdom—a place that the couple has been visiting quite often during the past few years.
Mainly, their preference and love for England, notably London, has created the inkling that they might adopt it as their permanent abode. The most recent picture of Kohli just loitering in the streets of London blew things out of proportion, and now fans and media outlets have started to feel that some profound changes in life are on the way for this power couple.

In December 2023, Kohli took some time off from his cricketing duties and went to the UK with Anushka. The duo, fiercely protective of their private space, made London a hideout to welcome the arrival of their second baby, away from the public glare in February.

Virat Kohli’s love for the city appeared more profound after India’s successful run in the 2024 T20 World Cup. He did not lose much time after the victory parade, catching the midnight flight to reunite with his family in the UK, thereby further deepening the Kohli-Sharma family’s connection with London.

Kohli has often spoken about the peace he finds away from India, where his celebrity status often disrupts his personal life. He returned to India on March to participate in the IPL 2024 season after a brief tour to the UK, but he spared no time to express how his time in England brought him closer to his daughter. He described it as life-changing. More significantly, he enjoyed being treated like any other person walking on the streets of London because he has not experienced anything like this in his home country for years.
