The couple also met the spiritual leader shortly after Virat Kohli announced his retirement from Test cricket in May this year, a decision that marked a major milestone in his career.
Fans were quick to react to the latest video, with many praising the couple’s spiritual foundation and consistency in visiting the ashram. “All of India wants to meet Messi and Virushka came here to see Premanand Maharaj ji,” read one comment, while another wrote, “Anushka really got the spiritual side of him.”
“The bliss that a child’s smile is the innocence that is lost, but when you are with people who share positivity, you blush, you smile, you are content,” wrote a third user.

Meanwhile, the 31st AGM of the apex council will be held online, with key deliberations expected on the future contracts of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. Both the senior players have left Test and T20I cricket over the last year and are currently only active in the ODI format.
In this context, India’s Test and ODI captain Shubman Gill could be considered for promotion to the A-plus contract category, along with senior all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja and paceman Jasprit Bumrah, who recently served as vice-captain during the last Test assignment.
Also on the agenda will be a proposed review of referee and match referee fees, as well as a discussion on updates to the board’s digital assets.
It will be the first AGM since the changes at the top of the BCCI administration, with Mithun Manhas taking over as president and Raghuram Bhatt taking over as treasurer in September. Devajit Saikia and Prabhtej Singh Bhatia were appointed as Secretary and Joint Secretary respectively.
