Kohli’s Visit to Vrindavan Dham
The viral video shows Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma seeking blessings from Shri Premanand Govind Sharan Ji Maharaj. In the clip, the Maharaj praises Kohli for bringing joy to the nation through his on-field performances and appreciates Anushka for keeping him grounded.
This isn’t the first time the couple has sought spiritual solace. In 2022, Kohli and Anushka visited the Neem Karoli Baba Ashram in Kainchi Dham during another challenging phase in Kohli’s career. That visit coincided with a resurgence in Kohli’s form, leading to hopes that this spiritual retreat might yield similar results.

Kohli’s Struggles in Australia
Virat Kohli’s recent tour of Australia marked his fifth visit to the country for a Test series. Despite high expectations, the 36-year-old batter managed only 190 runs in nine innings, averaging a modest 23.75. The series began on a high note with Kohli scoring his seventh Test century on Australian soil during the Perth Test. However, his form dipped significantly in the latter part of the series.
India’s Ranking Slide Post-BGT Loss
India’s loss in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy has had repercussions beyond individual performances. The team has slipped to third place in the latest ICC Test rankings, raising concerns about the team’s consistency in the longest format.
The inability of senior players like Kohli and Rohit Sharma to step up has been cited as a key factor in the team’s decline. With the ICC Champions Trophy around the corner, India’s think-tank will need to address these issues quickly.
