New Delhi [India], April 12 (ANI): On the occasion of Hanuman Jayanti, former India and Royal Challengers Bengaluru skipper Virat Kohli and his wife Anushka Sharma took to their official social media handle and wished everyone on the auspicious day.

On Saturday, the stalwart batter posted an Instagram story with a picture of Hanuman and the words 'Happy Hanuman Jayanti.'

Virat Kohli has been performing well in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. He has accumulated 186 runs over five matches, which includes two half-centuries. The team has been successful as a whole, securing victories in three of the four matches. They ended a 17-year winless streak in Chennai by defeating Chennai Super Kings (CSK), and they also achieved their first victory against Mumbai Indians (MI) at the Wankhede Stadium in ten years.

Kohli might soon close in on Chris Gayle, as he became just the fifth batsman to achieve 13,000 runs in T20 during the current IPL 2025 season. Kohli also ranks at the top among Indian batsmen in terms of centuries, hitting nine in his career, eight of which occurred in the IPL.

Kohli scored one of his fastest fifties in the IPL against MI at the Wankhede Stadium. RCB has yet to win an IPL title, but they probably have the best squad at their disposal in IPL 2025. Kohli will be next seen in action on April 13, when RCB takes on Rajasthan Royals in their next IPL 2025 match in Jaipur.

Virat Kohli's wife, Anushka Sharma, also took the time to post a story on Instagram on this auspicious day.
