Virat's Stylish Airport Look Sparks Viral Buzz: Fans See Sweet Nod to Anushka

Mumbai: India’s cricket icon Virat Kohli caught more than flight attention this week. As he landed in Mumbai ahead of the India vs New Zealand ODI series, a picture of him at the airport quickly spread online. The reason? A striking cardigan that many fans believe carried a personal message.

Virat Kohli made a glamorous entry as he arrived in Mumbai dressed casually but sharply, in a black cardigan with a red heart and the letter "A" stitched under it. He teamed it with a blue T-shirt and jeans. Supporters on social media were quick to suggest the design was a subtle tribute to his wife, Bollywood star Anushka Sharma.

What's the story behind the cardigan?

The special knit became a talking point because of the bold red heart and the single initial. The 'Virushka' fans connected the "A" to Anushka, interpreting the look as a quiet but heartfelt nod to her. Videos and clips shared on social apps showed supporters reacting with delight and amusement at the possible gesture.

Kohli took time at the airport for photos and to greet fans before joining the Indian team’s camp. The three-match ODI series against New Zealand is set to begin on January 11.

How are fans reacting off the field?

Whether it’s his batting or his off-field moments, Kohli attracts attention wherever he goes. The cardigan talk comes as fans are already buzzing about his form.

How did the couple welcome the New Year?

Kohli and Anushka were in the country before flying off to Dubai for welcoming the New Year.

The couple recently shared a photo from their holiday with their faces painted in colours, captioning it, “Stepping into 2026 with the light of my life."
