Sanjay Das Ji Maharaj, Mahant Hanuman Garhi, discussed Virat and Anushka’s love of God, culture, and spirituality. The popular sage claimed that the star couple visited Ram Mandir, which was inaugurated in early 2024, when Virat and Anushka were expecting their newborn boy, Akaay. Sanjay Das reported that Virat and Anushka discussed spirituality and mythology.
“Kohli and Anushka share a strong passion for spirituality, culture, God, and Sanatana Dharma. They went to Lord Ram Lalla and then received blessings from Lord Hanuman. They also talked about spirituality and mythology here,” Maharaj remarked, as published by India Times.
Virat Kohli’s Performance in the IPL 2025
Virat and Anushka paid a visit to the temple only days before the IPL 2025 playoffs began. The couple has a habit of visiting famous temples frequently, especially before major tournaments. The 36-year-old just retired from Test cricket, but he continues to play in the IPL and ODIs for RCB and the Indian side.
Kohli was one of the finest batters in the league’s 18th season. In 12 innings, the right-handed batter has 548 runs at an average of 60.88 and a strike rate of 145.35, including seven 50-plus scores. Kohli has hit 51 fours and 19 sixes in the IPL 2025 so far, making him a strong contender for the Orange Cap as well.
In his previous outing against SRH at Lucknow’s Ekana Stadium, Virat hit 43 off 25 balls, including seven fours and a six, while chasing a target of 232. Both Virat and RCB will play their final league stage match of the season against LSG at Lucknow’s Ekana Stadium, which will determine their playoff opponents, who will be one of Shubman Gill’s Gujarat Titans, Mumbai Indians, or Punjab Kings, respectively.
