India batter Virat Kohli has announced the birth of his son in a post on social media.

Kohli and wife Anushka Sharma wrote on X and Instagram: “With abundant happiness and our hearts full of love. We are pleased to inform everyone that on 15th February we welcomed our baby boy Akaay and Vamika’s little brother into this world.
