After India got brushed aside the Netherlands in their last league match of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023, Virat Kohli took a morning flight from Bengaluru airport to reach Mumbai ahead of the semi-finals.
As the star Indian cricketer came out of the airport, fans requested him to pose for photographs. Kohli could not wait for long as he seemed to be in a hurry to take his daughter Vamika home who was waiting in the car.
He also urged the photographers to stay away from his car, where Vamika was supposedly waiting.
The couple is quite protective of their daughter and is yet to reveal her face publicly.
