Virat Kohli set a significant record when he came out to play against Sri Lanka in Mohali. This is his 100th test match, and he joins an elite club of cricketers with this achievement. Kohli was felicitated by the BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India) prior to the start of the match. His wife, Anushka Sharma, was also present.
The felicitation ceremony’s photos have surfaced on the internet. As Virat is honoured, Anushka and his teammates can be seen cheering him on.
Only 71 players have played 100 or more test matches so far, and Kohli is only the 12th Indian to do so.
This is one of the biggest accomplishments of Kohli’s career, and it was only fitting that his lady love will accompany him. The two clearly have a huge amount of love and respect for each other that comes across during public appearances, interviews, social media posts, and so on.
On the match’s eve, Kohli credited his Anushka as his “pillar of strength” and spoke about her influence on his life. He thanked her for changing him “for all the right reasons” and helping him evolve as a person.
“Anushka has been a huge, huge influence in my life. Not just you know, eventually the influence in your life that filters down to your game as well because your game is part of life. I have become a completely changed man for all the right reasons. I have evolved in the right way. I am very, very grateful and thankful to God to have a life partner like her and she’s been an absolute pillar of strength for me,” Kohli told in an interview shared on BCCI’s social media accounts.
He added, “I know people say this thing a lot but I truly understood the meaning of that when I started evolving when Anushka came into my life. And vice versa. We have both helped each other grow. I wouldn’t have been able to go on with so much composure and so much passion and zeal if it wasn’t for her in my life.”
On the work front, Anushka has been away for a while from acting now but has produced several projects. She was last seen in 2018 film ‘Zero’.
