Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma's UK move rumors shattered as family fires back

Virat Kohli has recently made a brief visit to his family in Delhi as he joined the Indian cricket team in the national capital before flying to Australia for the three-match ODI series, starting on October 19 in Perth.

After Virat Kohli departed for Australia with the Indian cricket team, social media was flooded with reports that the former Indian captain had handed over a General Power of Attorney for his Rs 80 crore Gurugram residence to his elder brother Vikas Kohli. Several media reports also claimed that Kohli and his wife, Anushka Sharma, had decided to permanently move to the UK.
