Anushka Sharma, a well-known Bollywood actress and the wife of cricketer Virat Kohli, paid a heartfelt homage to her husband. Fans were shocked when Kohli announced his retirement from Test cricket on Monday, May 12.
In a heartfelt Instagram post, she wrote that although others will talk about his accomplishments and records, she will never forget the tears he never shed. She shared a photo with Virat Kohli from the 2018–19 series in Australia and continued, saying it has been an honor to see him grow.
“They’ll talk about the records and the milestones — but I’ll remember the tears you never showed, the battles no one saw, and the unwavering love you gave this format of the game. I know how much all this took from you. After every Test series, you came back a little wiser, a little humbler — and watching you evolve through it all has been a privilege. Somehow, I always imagined you’d retire international cricket in whites — But you’ve always followed your heart, and so I just want to say my love, you’ve earned every bit of this goodbye ❤️,” she wrote.
In addition, Virat Kohli commented on her tweet with three heart emoticons. In 123 Test matches, Kohli amassed 9230 runs at an average of 46.85, including 31 fifties and 30 hundreds.
