Virat Kohli has found himself hitting the top trends on social media, not for any cricket update, but for his new salt and pepper look.
A recent photo of the star, with a fan went viral on social media, drawing attention to his noticeably greying beard. While the cricketer has often been spotted out and about the streets of London, he surprised many with his dramatic new look.

Kohli's Look Creates BuzzSome fans expressed surprise and concern for the 36-year-old star, who announced his plans to take a step back from cricket by retiring from Test cricket. Sharing his photo, a fan wrote, "White beard, dimming fire, and tired eyes. Yes, that’s Virat Kohli in his latest pic from London. The King has begun to lay down his sword… We've probably reached the ending we never wanted to see!"
Another wrote, "Virat Kohli spotted in London — white beard, tired eyes, and a fire that’s slowly dimming."
Fans Defend CricketerOthers, however, showered Kohli with praise, calling him “gracefully ageing” and “more handsome than ever.” Many also pointed out that he appears to be in a happy, relaxed phase of life, enjoying time with his wife Anushka Sharma and their two children, Vamika and Akaay .
“Grey beard or not, he’s glowing with happiness,” one user wrote, while another commented, “The man’s living his best life with Anushka and their kids, chilling in Notting Hill, far from the media circus in India. That viral clip of him strolling with Anushka? He looked relaxed, not troubled—maybe a bit annoyed at the fan filming without asking, but that’s it. Fans are freaking out over nothing; Kohli’s just embracing the quiet life post-Test retirement. My take? He’s earned it after carrying Indian cricket for years. Let’s not spin this into some drama."
Move To LondonThe candid snapshots, believed to be from a recent outing, come a month after Kohli suited up and hit the stands at Wimbledon with his wife, Anushka Sharma.
The couple, who welcomed their second child, Akaay, last year, have been slowly shifting base to London. According to reports, the couple want their two kids, Akaay and Vamika, to enjoy a quiet upbringing, away from the spotlight.
