Ace Indian cricketer and talismanic batsman Virat Kohli has recently purchased a luxurious villa in the coastal city of Maharashtra, Alibaug. It has been reported that the villa owned by the former Indian captain is worth INR 19 crore (USD 2.2 million).
Kohli bought a villa in Alibaug in Avas Living in March 2023. Avas Living is a luxury bungalow in Awas Village, which located in the Alibaug tehsil of Raigad district.
This is the second property of Virat Kohli and his actress wife Anushka Sharma in Alibaug.
The newly built bungalow is a holiday home for him and his family, staying away from chaos and noise of the city.
Speaking about his holiday home, Kohli said that the place should emanate a relaxed and peaceful vibe.
“The most important thing for me in a holiday home is the feeling when you get absolutely relaxed, centered, and peaceful. Just a feeling of home away from your regular home,” Kohli said in a video shared on X.

Highlighting the most interesting part of his villa, the former Indian captain said, “The most interesting feature is the double-height cut-out ceiling in the living space, as it welcomes natural light. The more the light, the better its energy.”
