Indian cricket icon Virat Kohli turned the Mumbai airport into a style runway, sending fans into a frenzy with his arrival ahead of the crucial ODI series against New Zealand. The star batsman, who is set to return to action on January 11, was all smiles for the waiting paparazzi, but it was his fashion choice that became the talk of the town.
Decoding Virat's Stylish Airport Arrival
Videos and photographs of Kohli exiting the terminal swiftly went viral on social media. He was seen sporting a smart, all-black ensemble consisting of a cardigan, a matching tee, and jeans. However, the eagle-eyed fan base of the power couple, affectionately called 'Virushka', zoomed in on a specific detail on his cardigan: a prominent red 'A' with a heart motif.
This small emblem ignited immediate speculation that it was a subtle yet stylish tribute to his wife, Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma. The internet was quick to connect the dots, with fans flooding the comment sections of the posts with adorable theories.
Fan Reactions and the 'A' Heart Theory
The fan reaction was instantaneous and overwhelmingly romantic. One fan pointed out, "That A on his sweater — A for Anushka." Another admirer wrote, "Itna pyaar, you are a real king," while a third chimed in, "That A in his T-shirt. Anushka so lucky yaar." Some followers even speculated that the cricketer chose the particular piece of clothing as a sweet gesture since Anushka might have travelled to the UK, while he stayed back for his professional commitments. A comment read, "That A… shayad Nush London chali gayi."
The Price Tag Behind Kohli's Viral Look
For fans hoping to replicate Virat Kohli's chic airport style, the cardigan comes with a hefty price tag. The piece is from the luxury brand Ami Paris, which features the iconic 'A' with a heart as its logo, and retails for a staggering Rs 65,000.
The couple had recently celebrated the New Year together in Dubai with friends and family after a brief stay in India. There were strong rumours that their two children, Vamika and Akaay, were also part of the festive getaway, although the star couple successfully shielded them from the media glare.
As the buzz around his fashion statement continues, all eyes are now on Kohli's performance as Team India prepares to take on New Zealand in the ODI series starting soon.
