Ace India cricketer Virat Kohli was on Tuesday seen giving a piggyback ride to his son Akaay during a family outing, pictures of which have now gone viral on social media. Kohli may be away from the cricket field, but he is spending quality time with his family while continuing his recovery from injury.
A fresh set of viral pictures has offered fans a glimpse into the life of Kohli away from the spotlight. The images show him enjoying a relaxed outdoor outing with his family, including a heartwarming moment where he is seen giving his son Akaay a piggyback ride amidst lush green surroundings.
Dressed in a casual black hoodie paired with khaki trousers, Kohli looked relaxed as he enjoyed quality time with his family. In the background, a stroller,
some snacks and a pink balloon hinted at a calm, unhurried picnic-style outing.

Meanwhile, Kohli’s absence from the three-match ODI series against Afghanistan because of an injury has permitted India to try out cricketers at the number three spot.
Here too, KL Rahul could see a change in his role with the bat despite being settled in the middle-order, number five, over the last four years.
Speaking to the media, India bowling coach Morne Morkel said that not only Rahul, but also Ishan Kishan and Yashasvi Jaiswal could be tested at the No. 3 position over the course of the Afghanistan series.
“In terms of that number three slot, that is something that in this series we will play around with. Even if it is Ishan or KL or Yashasvi, it is a nice opportunity now. We have got a couple of one-day games coming up and we will give guys opportunities in different slots,” Morkel had said.
