Watch: Virat Kohli asks paps to not take photos of his children at Mumbai airport
Star India batter Virat Kohli was spotted at the Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport in Mumbai late at night. Kohli was accompanied by his wife, Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma, and their children, Vamika and Akaay Kohli. As they stepped out of their car, Kohli requested the paparazzi not to take pictures of Anushka and the kids, emphasising their preference for privacy.

It remains unclear whether Kohli was flying to London with his family or heading to Australia for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series.

The power couple were papped together after quite a long time during their brief stay in Mumbai.

His struggles against spin since 2020 have become evident; his average in India has plummeted from 72.45 (2013-2019) to 32.86, with 24 of his 57 dismissals in this period coming against spin.
However, he boasts of a great record against Australia in the red-ball format. In 25 Test matches, Kohli has scored 2042 against Australia at an average of 47.48 with eight hundreds. The 36-year-old will aim to take confidence from
