Virat has turned more religious in the last few years and makes time to pray at some of the note religious places for the hindus.
He is currently going through a lean patch in Test cricket. It has been more than 3 years since he scored a Test ton. In the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2023, Virat has scored just 111 runs in 3 matches so far at a poor average of 22.20. Virat would be hoping for better returns in Ahmedabad where the fourth Test vs Australia is to be played between March 9 and 13. Virat is also part of the ODI squad that will take on Australia in the three-game series from March 17 at Mumbai.
After the conclusion of Australia tour of India, the 34-year-old will shift focus to IPL where he plays for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). This team, despite boasting of a strong squad, has never won an IPL trophy and Virat will again hope and pray that his long wait for the silverware ends in 2023.
Actress and producer Anushka Sharma is working hard these days on the Jhulan Goswami biopic. Anushka is playing the onscreen Jhulan, story of one of the finest cricketers the country has produced. The film is titled Chakda Xpress and is also Anushka's comeback film post delivery of their daughter Vamika.
