Watch: Virat Kohli enjoys dinner date with Anushka Sharma and friends in Mumbai ahead of T20 World Cup

NEW DELHI: Virat Kohli found a rare moment of relaxation in Mumbai ahead of the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup, which starts on June 2. The Indian cricket team is currently in New York preparing for the mega event.

Meanwhile, Kohli was seen enjoying a dinner date with his actor-wife Anushka Sharma, fellow cricketer Zaheer Khan, his actor-wife Sagarika Ghatge, and cricket presenter Gaurav Kapur among others.

A video shared by a paparazzo on Instagram captured Anushka and friends exiting Veronica's, a trendy eatery in Bandra, Mumbai.

The couple shared warm hugs and goodbyes with their friends outside the restaurant while waiting for their car. This outing was a rare moment for the pair since they became parents for the second time earlier this year. Anushka gave birth to their son, Akaay, in London, and they also have a three-year-old daughter, Vamika.

Anushka has been a constant source of support, cheering for Virat during the IPL season, which saw RCB securing a place in the playoffs before bowing out. Shah Rukh Khan's Kolkata Knight Riders eventually clinched the IPL title against Sunrisers Hyderabad in Chennai.

With the T20 World Cup just around the corner, Kohli's presence in Mumbai ahead of joining his teammates in New York indicates a brief yet essential breather before the high-pressure tournament.

As Kohli prepares to join the Indian squad, his brief respite in Mumbai serves as a necessary recharge before the T20 World Cup. The Indian team, aiming to replicate their 2007 triumph under MS Dhoni's leadership, is eager to bring the trophy home after a long wait.
