“We are thrilled to share with you that we have been blessed with a baby girl this afternoon. We thank you for all the love, prayer and good wishes. Anushka and the baby are both healthy and we are feeling beyond blessed to start this new chapter of our lives. We hope that you will respect our privacy at this time,” wrote Kohli in a message on Twitter.
Kohli had been granted paternity leave by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to return home after the conclusion on the first Test against Australia in the ongoing 2020-21 tour.
He returned to India in late November 2020 after the Adelaide Test. (UNI)
