A photo from the third day of the Test match between India and Australia at Perth has taken the internet by storm, particularly because fans believed it was the first time that they saw Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli‘s son, Akaay Kohli‘s face.
The vial images and videos show a man cradling a baby and standing behind Anushka in the stands as they enjoy watching Virat playing on the field.The little one, dressed in a blue outfit, sparked speculation online, with many wondering if the child was Akaay. “Is that Akaay?” fans asked while others tweeted old childhood photos of the cricketer and pointed out a resemblance between the two saying, “Akaay Kohli is carbon copy of Virat Kohli.”
However, reports now confirm that the baby in the viral photo is not Akaay, but another child who happened to be in the VIP box.
While fans may still have not got a peek at little Akaay, the day was a special one indeed as Virat scored a century. To celebrate, he even blew a kiss to his wife in the stands, a gesture that melted hearts worldwide.
Anushka and Virat have been fiercely private about their children and have often barred the media from taking their photos. The couple followed the same mandate while stepping out with daughter Vamika. The couple managed to keep the little one’s face hidden for months on end, until a video from a cricket match revealed her face to the world.
Just last week, Virat made headlines when he stepped out of his car to ask the shutterbugs to refrain from taking photos of his children as they arrived at the airport with their mom.
