India’s ace cricketer Virat Kohli announced his retirement from Test Cricket yesterday. The move left his fans emotional and many took to social media to express their sentiments. Just a day after announcing his retirement, the cricketer was spotted in Vrindavan with his wife Anushka Sharma. The couple visited Premanand Maharaj’s ashram on Tuesday morning to seek blessings and guidance from him. Videos from their visit have started doing rounds on social media.

A viral video circulating on social media captures Premanand Maharaj asking Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli, “Prasann ho?” (Are you happy?), to which the couple responds with a smile and a nod. They are seen listening intently as he shares a message centred on devotion and inner peace. The couple appears fully engaged as the spiritual guru explains that true divine grace isn’t measured by wealth or fame, but by spiritual growth and transformation.

Once recognised for his fiery temperament, Kohli has now found a sense of calm and equilibrium, thanks to the influence of spirituality and the grounding presence of his family. Embracing spirituality fosters a deep sense of inner peace, balance, and harmony by helping people connect with something greater than themselves. It encourages self-reflection, mindfulness, and a shift in perspective that prioritises purpose over pressure. Through practices like meditation, prayer, or simply living with intention, spirituality creates a calming space within, allowing one to navigate life’s ups and downs with greater clarity and resilience.

By letting go of ego, control, and constant external validation, people often discover a grounded sense of contentment that stems from within, bringing emotional stability, a more compassionate outlook, and a harmonious relationship with oneself and the world around them.

This marks Kohli’s third meeting with the spiritual leader, with previous visits taking place on January 4, 2023, and January 10, 2025. Following the cricketer’s announcement, Indian cricket enthusiasts around the world are grappling with a wave of disappointment.

But it’s important to recognise that this decision likely wasn’t easy for Kohli either. Walking away from something that defined your identity, brought you fame, and gave you purpose is never simple. Many believe that his deepening connection with spirituality played a role in this shift. It may have helped him see that his worth extends beyond his achievements on the field.
