Indian cricket team’s star batsman Virat Kohli scored his 81st Test century in the first Test match against Australia. This unforgettable innings at the Perth ground became a memorable moment for his fans.
After his century, Kohli gave credit to his wife Anushka Sharma, saying that she always remained a strong support in his successes and difficulties. Anushka’s presence on the field was of special importance to Kohli, and the moment of Kohli’s flying kiss towards her after completing the century was emotional for the viewers.
According to reports, during the commentary, Ravi Shastri shared an interesting story from 2015. He said that Virat had requested the BCCI at that time that Anushka should accompany him for the Australia series, even though the board had a “wives only” policy at the time and the two were not married.
Shastri said, “I spoke to the BCCI, and they gave special permission. Anushka’s presence lifted Virat’s spirits. In the Boxing Day Test of the same series, Kohli played an incredible innings of 160 runs.”
Talking about his recent difficulties, Kohli said that Anushka deeply understands his difficult times and her company always boosts his courage. Ravi Shastri also stressed that Kohli’s return to form is a big threat to the opposition teams, and it will strengthen India’s chances of winning the series.
