Hyderabad: A recent viral photo from the India-Australia Test match in Perth has sparked widespread speculation, with fans believing it was the first public appearance of Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli's son, Akaay Kohli. The photo shows a man cradling a baby while standing behind Anushka in the VIP stands, watching Virat play on the field. The child, dressed in a blue outfit, caught the attention of fans, many of whom quickly assumed that this was Akaay's first public reveal.
The speculation intensified as fans pointed out the resemblance between the child and a young Virat Kohli, with some commenting on how the little one seemed to be a "carbon copy" of the cricketer. Social media was abuzz with fans questioning, "Is that Akaay?" and eagerly sharing their theories and comparisons to childhood photos of Virat.
However, while fans were excited by the idea of seeing the couple's son for the first time, reports have now confirmed that the child in the viral images is not Akaay. Instead, the baby is reportedly another child who was in the VIP section of the stadium. This has come as a disappointment to many, as the couple has been fiercely protective of their children's privacy and have not shared any public photos of their son.
