Vrindavan (Uttar Pradesh) [India], June 2 : Star couple Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma on Tuesday were spotted arriving in Vrindavan to seek the blessings of spiritual guru Premanand Maharaj.
Several videos and photographs that surfaced online captured Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma leaving the ashram after meeting Premanand Maharaj. The couple has been visiting him regularly over the last two to three years.
This time their visit comes two days after Virat and his IPL team, RCB, registered a clinical victory in the 19th edition of the popular cricket tournament.
The couple has now returned to Mumbai.
RCB became only the third side after Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Mumbai Indians (MI) to defend their IPL crown successfully. The Rajat Patidar-led side, after restricting GT to 155/8 in the first innings, chased the target with five wickets and two overs remaining.
A day after winning the final, Virat Kohli reflected on Bengaluru's triumphs, saying the team challenged themselves after last year's glory by asking whether they could repeat the feat.

Rasikh Dar Salam (3/27), Bhuvneshwar Kumar (2/29) and Josh Hazlewood (2/37) took wickets regularly.RCB started well with a 62-run stand between Venkatesh Iyer (32 in 16 balls, with four boundaries and two sixes) and Virat Kohli.
