Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], November 18 (ANI): Power couple Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli are one of the most adored couples who have remained strong by one another through difficult times.
From Virat defending Anushka when she was bashed by trolls for his bad performance in a T-20 match to Anushka writing an emotional statement as he stepped down as Indian Test Captain, they have been a constant source of inspiration for each other.
Virat Kohli discussed Anushka’s huge sacrifices as a mother in his RCB (Royal Challengers Bangalore) podcast.
He said, “The way things have been in the past two years, we have had our child, and, as a mother, the sacrifices that she made have been massive. Looking at her, I realized whatever problems I had were nothing. As far as expectations are concerned, as long as your family loves you for who you are, you don’t expect much because that is the basic requirement.” He added, “Her outlook toward life was different and it urged me to change for the better and become more accepting of things.”
Virat Kohli had gone through a difficult period in his career and had subsequently stepped down as Indian Test Captain. Anushka was his staunchest ally during these tough times. She wrote him a lengthy letter.

Virat Kohli, recently, scored his 50th ODI century at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium during India’s World Cup semifinal match versus New Zealand. He has overtaken his childhood idol Sachin Tendulkar, who scored 49 ODI centuries in his decorated career.
No doubt, Anushka Sharma was on cloud nine looking at her husband’s milestone achievement and she reacted to it with a heartwarming gesture by blowing flying kisses to him.
