Cricket sensation, Former Indian Skipper Virat Kohli and his wife, actress Anushka Sharma, have heartily announced the arrival of their second child, a baby boy named Akaay. The couple shared their happiness with the world via social media, inviting blessings and well-wishes from fans and followers.

Their announcement, made on 15th February, expressed abundant joy and love as they welcomed Akaay, who joined his older sister Vamika. The couple also politely requested privacy during this special time in their lives.

Batting legend Sachin Tendulkar, taking to social media platform X (formerly Twitter), extended his heartfelt congratulations to Kohli and Anushka, referring to Akaay as a "precious addition" to their beautiful family. Tendulkar's message echoed the sentiment of warmth and happiness for the couple's growing family.

Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma, who exchanged vows in 2017, embraced parenthood for the first time in January 2021 with the birth of their daughter Vamika. Kohli, known for his dedication to cricket, took a break from the sport during the Australian tour to be with Anushka for the birth of their first child.

The recent announcement sheds light on Kohli's absence from the England Test series, attributing it to "certain personal situations" requiring his presence and attention. This decision marked the first time Kohli missed a home Test series since his debut in 2011, underscoring the significance of the family milestone.

Looking ahead, Virat Kohli is anticipated to return to action during the IPL 2024 season, representing the Royal Challengers Bangalore. The tournament serves as crucial preparation for the upcoming T20 World Cup in June, where Kohli aims to make a significant impact on the field.

As the cricketing world celebrates the arrival of Akaay into the Kohli-Anushka family, fans eagerly await Virat Kohli's return to the cricket pitch, where he continues to inspire with his exceptional talent and dedication to the sport.
