Videos of Virat and Anushka arriving in a car in Vrindavan have surfaced on social media. Anushka looked stunning as she wore white traditional wear and Virat looked handsome in casual wear. The two arrived in a local cab and had their faces covered in face masks.
Anushka and Virat got down of the car and quickly entered the ashram. The two arrived without their kids. On Monday, Virat announced his retirement from Test cricket before the England tour. The former India captain took to Instagram and wrote, "It's been 14 years since I first wore the baggy blue in Test cricket. Honestly, I never imagined the journey this format would take me on. It's tested me, shaped me, and taught me lessons I'll carry for life. There's something deeply personal about playing in whites... I've given it everything I had, and it's given me back so much more than I could've hoped for. I'm walking away with a heart full of gratitude... #269, signing off."
Later, Anushka also praised Virat's dedication towards the game. She wrote, "They'll talk about the records and the milestones but I'll remember the tears you never showed, the battles no one saw, and the unwavering love you gave this format of the game. I know how much all this took from you. After every Test series, you came back a little wiser, a little humbler and watching you evolve through it all has been a privilege. Somehow, I always imagined you'd retire international cricket in whites But you've always followed your heart, and so I just want to say my love, you've earned every bit of this goodbye".
