However, what happened yesterday took everyone by surprise. Are Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma now fine with their daughter's photos going viral? Apparently not. Amid fans lashing out at broadcaster for the breach of privacy, Anushka and Virat have both shared that they didn't know the camera was pointed at them and that they were caught off guard too.

Anushka and Virat wrote on Instagram, "Hi guys! We realise that our daughter's images were captured at the stadium yesterday and widely shared thereafter. We want to inform everyone that we were caught off guard and didn't know that the camera was on us. Our stance and request on the matter stays the same. We would really appreciate if Vamika's images are not clicked/published for reasons we have explained earlier."

This happened during Sunday's match that the camera stayed at Anushka Sharma and Vamika for a few seconds before returning to the ground. Thereafter, Vamika's photos spread like wildfire on social media. While some fans have already started gushing over the little one, there are others who are trying to match similarities with Virat and Anushka's childhood photos. Many are angry at the channel for broadcasting her photos.

Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli had earlier as well requested the paparazzi to not click her photos, and the paps have adhered to their request.

"We are deeply thankful to the Indian paparazzi and most of the media fraternity for not publishing pictures/videos of Vamika. As parents, our request to the few who carried the images/video will be to support us going forward. We seek privacy for our child and would like to do our best to give her a chance to live her life freely away from media and social media. As she is older we cannot restrict her movement and hence your support is needed so kindly practice restraint in the matter. A special thank you to fan clubs and people on the internet for going out of your way to not post images. It was kind and highly mature of you."
