Virat and Anushka had other reasons to celebrate, as India won against South Africa on Thursday. Anushka and her daughter Vamika were in the stadium, and Virat had even waved to the two of them from the field.
The couple welcomed Vamika last January. Virat and Anushka don’t want unauthorised photos of their daughter to be shared on social media, and have never revealed Vamika’s face in their social media posts. When the paparazzi did catch a glimpse of her, Virat requested them to not upload the photos. When they adhered to their request, Anushka thanked them in a note.
