Following their visit to Vrindavan, India's top batter Virat Kohli, his wife Anushka Sharma, and their kids Vamika and Akaay landed in Mumbai on Friday. The family landed at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport's General Aviation (GA) terminal in Kalina. Known for his gregarious demeanour, Virat Kohli attracted the attention of both fans and photographers when he waved to the paparazzi who were waiting when he came with his family.

Virat and Anushka met Shri Premanand Govind Sharan Ji Maharaj during their visit to Vrindavan prior to their arrival in Mumbai. A video of Kohli and Anushka asking the spiritual leader for blessings during their visit went viral. Anushka was praised by Shri Premanand Govind Sharan Ji Maharaj in the video for helping to keep Virat grounded in spite of his enormous success. He gave her credit for keeping Kohli humble and faithful.

There were highs and lows during Virat Kohli's most recent tour of Australia, which was his sixth trip there. High expectations were placed on Kohli, one of the most well-known players in international cricket. When he achieved a noteworthy milestone—becoming the batter with the most Test hundreds on Australian soil—the series got off to a strong start for him. In the Perth Test, he recorded his eighth Test century. But as the series went on, Kohli's form declined, and by the conclusion, he had only amassed 190 runs at an average of 23.75 in nine innings.
Kohli found the latter part of the tour especially difficult, scoring just 85 runs in seven innings across the final four Test matches. Kohli made headlines for off-field indiscretions during these Test matches, in which India lost 1-3, including a contentious shoulder bump with Australian player Sam Konstas. He was sanctioned by the International Cricket Council (ICC) for this altercation. To further heighten the atmosphere of the visit, Kohli also made an attempt to agitate the Australian audience with a sandpaper gesture.
