Virat Kohli emerged as the leading run scorer in the Cricket World Cup 2023. In the 11 matches of the Cricket World Cup 2023, he scored 765 runs at an average of 95.63. Among the cricketers, he is the most searched on Google in the last 25 years.
Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli were married in 2017 and they are now parents of a 2-year-old daughter named Vamika in January 2021. They rarely publish pictures of the little girl keeping the fans guessing.
Now, a picture of Virat Kohli with a little child is going viral with the claim that it is his daughter.
The image is viral with the caption “Virat Kohli with his daughter”
Fact Check:
The claim is False. The image shows Indian cricketer Virat Kohli with a little fan and not his daughter Vamika.
When searched for Virat Kohli’s daughter, we did not find any recent pictures published in the reports on the mainstream media.
Upon performing a reverse image search on Google, we found that the image was published on social media accounts in August 2023. A Facebook handle named Inside Sport which is a news and media website, shared the image on August 24, 2023, with the caption Virat Kohli with a cute little fan.
The image was also shared by an X (Twitter) handle with the same caption ‘Virat Kohli with a cute little fan – What a beautiful picture!’
When we searched for the images of Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma’s daughter, we found an article by The Statesmen that shares the images of the mother and daughter duo cheering for Virat Kohli during a cricket match.
Hence, the viral picture shows Virat Kohli with a little fan and not his daughter. The claim is False.
