The couple's second pregnancy was a hush-hush one and they never made a public announcement confirming the news. Anushka mostly kept a low profile, although she was spotted with a baby bump watching World Cup matches in November 2023.

Ahead of the announcement, Kohli had decided not to be a part of the ongoing Test series against England. He had first taken a leave due to 'personal reasons' from the first two Tests before making himself unavailable for the rest of the three Tests.
Earlier this week,industrialist Harsh Goenka haddropped a hint regarding arrival of the baby and had revealed that the Anushka would be delivering in London.
Goenka on X had written, "A new baby is to be born in the next few days! Hope the baby takes India to great heights like the greatest cricketing father. Or will it follow the mother and be a film star?#MadeInIndia#ToBeBornInLondon.”
