Virat Kohli’s Brother Denies Reports of Transferring Power of Attorney

Virat Kohli’s Brother Refutes “Misinformation” Amid UK Relocation Rumors

Vikas Kohli, brother of cricket star Virat Kohli, took to Instagram on Friday to dismiss what he termed “misinformation” circulating about his famous brother and sister-in-law Anushka Sharma. His cryptic post appeared to address recent reports suggesting the high-profile couple had permanently relocated to the United Kingdom.

“I am not surprised about so much misinformation and fake news going around these days…. Some people are so free and have lots of time to do so… Good luck to you guys,” wrote Vikas on his Instagram Story, under the handle vk0681.

The post comes amid widespread speculation about the couple’s living arrangements, with several media outlets reporting that Virat had given his brother the General Power of Attorney for his ₹80 crore property in Gurugram. According to News18, this legal arrangement would have granted Vikas full authority to manage all property-related matters, including maintenance and potential sales, while Virat remains abroad.

The rumors gained traction as Anushka Sharma and the couple’s two children, Vamika and Akaay, have been based in London since early 2024. When not fulfilling cricket commitments, Kohli has frequently been spotted with his family around the British capital, fueling speculation about a permanent move overseas.

This timing of these reports is particularly significant as Kohli has recently returned to cricket after a notable absence. The 36-year-old batting maestro is currently in Australia for a three-match ODI series beginning Sunday. This marks his first appearance on the cricket field since the IPL final with Royal Challengers Bengaluru and his return to international cricket since India’s Champions Trophy campaign.

Cricket analysts have noted that the upcoming Australia series holds special significance for both Kohli and fellow veteran Rohit Sharma, as it might be their final ODI tour down under as their illustrious careers approach their concluding phases. The series has generated considerable interest among cricket enthusiasts worldwide, with fans eager to witness these legends compete in Australian conditions potentially for the last time.

The power couple, who married in 2017, have consistently maintained a guarded approach regarding their personal lives and family matters. Their daughter Vamika was born in 2021, followed by their son Akaay earlier this year. Throughout their relationship, both Virat and Anushka have been selective about sharing details of their private lives despite their enormous public profiles.

Neither Virat nor Anushka has made any official statement regarding their long-term residence plans, leaving fans and media to speculate about their future intentions. Their reluctance to address such matters publicly aligns with their established pattern of maintaining privacy around personal decisions.

The ongoing conversation about their residential status highlights the intense public interest in the lives of these two prominent figures who represent the intersection of India’s two most influential cultural institutions: cricket and Bollywood. As one of India’s most celebrated couples, their movements and life choices continue to generate significant media attention both domestically and internationally.

As Kohli focuses on his cricket responsibilities in Australia, the family appears content to let speculation continue without official confirmation or denial of their future plans.
