Indian cricket team’s star batsman Virat Kohli scored his 81st Test century in a brilliant performance 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 had always been a strong support in his successes and difficulties. Anushka’s presence on the field was of special importance to Kohli, and Kohli’s flying kiss towards him after completing his 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 join him in the Australia series, even though the board had a “wives only” policy at that time and the two were not married.
Shastri said, “I spoke to the BCCI, and they gave special permission. Anushka’s presence boosted Virat’s morale. Kohli played an incredible innings of 160 runs in the Boxing Day Test of the same series.”
Talking about his recent struggles, 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 for the opposition teams, and it will strengthen India’s chances of winning the series.
