5 Cricketers who live ultra-private lives

In today's cricket scene, stardom, media attention, and continual fan engagement are all part of a player's life. Social media has made celebrities more accessible, bringing their personal lives to the forefront.

However, some cricketers choose to distinguish between their public and private lives. These people deliberately shun excessive attention, preferring to live quietly with their family, away from the splendor and commotion of the spotlight.

Here are 5 Cricketers who live ultra-private lives:

1. Virat Kohli

Virat Kohli is one of the most successful and important cricketers in the modern era. With over 25,000 international runs, a past Indian captaincy, and other records, his cricketing career has been avidly watched throughout the world. Despite being a global celebrity, Kohli has become more introverted in recent years.

He and his wife, Anushka Sharma, are very protective of their daughter's privacy and avoid discussing family events in public. The couple has often begged that paparazzi not picture their child, emphasizing their desire to keep their personal lives private. To maintain their privacy, the couple relocated to an undisclosed location in London.

2. Kane Williamson

Kane Williamson, New Zealand's composed and reliable former captain, is largely considered one of the best batters of his time. Under his leadership, New Zealand won the inaugural World Test Championship in 2021 and consistently played well in all formats. Williamson is known for his humility and grounded attitude, and he keeps his family life very quiet. 

He is rarely seen in public outside of cricket and keeps his personal social media profile private.  Even major milestones such as the birth of his children were kept private, demonstrating his preference for a low-key existence.

3. Cheteshwar Pujara

Cheteshwar Pujara is well-known for his classical batting technique and patience, which have helped him become India's Test specialist for more than ten years. With vital innings overseas, he has gained a reputation as a reliable rock in India's middle order.

Off the field, Pujara exudes the same calm and discipline. He avoids controversy and rarely discusses his family life, avoiding endorsements and media appearances. His social media posts are largely cricket-related, ensuring a clear separation between his professional and personal lives.

4. Hashim Amla

Hashim Amla, an all-time South African great, was known for his grace, consistency, and records, including being the fastest to reach 2000, 3000, and 4000 ODI runs. He captained South Africa and made over 18,000 runs in international cricket.

Amla, a devoted Muslim and quiet guy, avoided the spotlight. He refused to wear alcohol-sponsored jerseys owing to his religious views and never used social media. His personal life has always been off-limits, reflecting his deep-seated principles and desire for solitude.

5. Joe Root  

Joe Root, one of England's best batsmen, has kept the Test team together with his impressive performances.  Root, a former captain with almost 13,000 Test runs and 37 hundreds, is recognized for his ability and temperament.

Root, unlike many of his colleagues, is quite private about his personal life.  His social media presence is modest, with few family-related posts.  Even at the height of his stardom, he has kept his private life out of the spotlight, preferring a tranquil family life to celebrity buzz.
