Virat Kohli is a man of many emotions, witnessed by his intense outbursts on the cricket pitch. There is however a softer side to the captain of Team India, the one often witnessed when he talks about his girlfriend Anushka Sharma.
In a candid interview with Star Sports, Kohli talked about how Anushka Sharma was there during the biggest moments of his professional career, making her a very lucky presence in his life.
Kohli opened up the moment he was announced as the captain of the test team.
When they hung up the phone, and I told her (Anushka), it was like a flashback from the time I started playing in my academy, till the Mohali game, and I was emotional and I was in tears.
Kohli added that he couldn’t completely process the decision, because he never thought that the day would come.
The fact that I was able to share the moment with her, made it even more magical, and it is something I will always remember.
From rooting for his girlfriend’s work to dedicating a post on Valentine’s Day and Women’s Day to his feisty gal, from going public on his display image with Anushka to ‘shaming’ and ‘rubbishing’ trolls who spoke against her, Virat Kohli continually makes other boyfriends in the world feel like they need to up their game.
