Indian cricket team star Virat Kohli, along with his wife Anushka Sharma, paid obeisance at the Hanuman Garhi temple in Ayodhya. The star couple sought blessings and offered prayers. Despite a large crowd surrounding them, Virat and Anushka remained calm and prayed with folded hands, seeking inner peace. Afterwards, the temple priest garlanded the couple and applied a tilak. The priest also blessed Kohli by placing his hand on his head.

Sanjay Das Ji Maharaj, Mahant Hanuman Garhi said, "Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma have a deep love for spirituality, culture, God and Sanatana Dharma. They visited Lord Ram Lalla and then took blessings from Lord Hanuman. They also discussed spirituality and mythological things here."
