Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma have once again become the focus of online chatter after videos of their spiritual stopover in Vrindavan circulated during a brief pause in Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s IPL 2026 calendar. The clips show the couple spending time at a local ashram, seeking blessings and taking part in a private devotional interaction.
Vrindavan visit during RCB’s IPL break
During their short downtime, Kohli and Anushka visited the ashram of Premanand Ji Maharaj at Shri Hit Radha Keli Kunj. There, they were seen joining devotees as they listened to the guru’s discourse, before participating in an “Ekantik Vartalaap”, described as an intimate spiritual session.
The serene visuals—Kohli and Anushka seated quietly among the gathering—added to the attention the visit received on social media. For many fans, it was another example of the couple’s steady inclination toward faith away from the cricket spotlight.

From Delhi Capitals to the next RCB assignment
The spiritual retreat arrived just days after Kohli played for RCB in their recent game versus Delhi Capitals. In that match, he scored 19 runs off 13 deliveries, but it was his off-field moments that continued to draw interest as the league moved toward the next round.
With a narrow window before RCB’s subsequent fixture against Gujarat Titans on April 24, the star batter used the gap to step away from the rigours of match preparation. His focus on the pitch is expected to return soon, but the Vrindavan visuals have once again resonated with supporters.
Growing spiritual routine
This latest visit forms part of a wider pattern. Kohli and Anushka have made Vrindavan trips three times within five months, and it also represents their second visit to the city this year alone. Their earlier stop came in February, shortly after their son Akaay’s birthday.
Last year, they were also frequent at spiritual destinations, reinforcing the sense that faith has taken on a more prominent place in recent times. The ashram’s own video—shared via its YouTube channel—captured the couple blending into the crowd and absorbing the teachings quietly.
As Kohli gears up for RCB’s title defence—an angle that comes with the team being described as the defending champions—attention will remain split between performances on the field and moments like this off it. With RCB noted as sitting second in the IPL 2026 standings, fans will be waiting to see how the next match unfolds after this Vrindavan visit.
