Even the deep disappointment of missing out on a berth in the IPL 2023 Play-Offs didn't dim Virat Kohli's fatherly love.
At the M Chinnaswamy stadium with her mum Anushka Sharma was Vamika Kohli, all of 26 months and 10 days, attending what may have been her first IPL game.
And spotting her as he came off the ground, her father got all mushy as daddys are known to do when they sight their daughters.
