'We were in a place where people didn't know us'
Regarding the two-month break, Virat Kohli said in the presentation ceremony after the match, “We were not in the country. We were in a place where people did not know us. Spending time together as a family, feeling normal for two months, for me, for my family, it was a surreal experience. However, having two children makes things completely different from a family perspective. Just being able to be together, being able to bond with your older child. I am so grateful to God for giving me the opportunity to spend time with my family. There is someone else on the road. Not to be recognized and not to be recognized is a wonderful experience.”
