'Iske liye do saal se ro raha tha main': Virat Kohli reveals he was in tears while talking to Anushka Sharma after ending his century drought
Celebrity couple Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma have been keeping it low-key ever since they welcomed their first child, daughter Vamika, in 2021. They reportedly have shifted to London, United Kingdom, where their son Akaay was born last year. Kohli recently sat down for a rare chat with sports presenter and host Jatin Sapru and opened up about how talking to Anushka Sharma after achieving a professional milestone made him tear up.?
Virat Kohli's emotional response to hitting century
Virat Kohli, widely regarded as one of the greatest batsmen in cricket history, has impressive statistics to back his GOAT status. And while mapping these incredible milestones, he also met with many obstacles. However, through it all, he had his wife Anushka's support.?
Speaking to Jatin Sapru, Kohli shared his emotional response to scoring a century during the 2022 Asia Cup against Afghanistan that ended a century drought for him and, coincidentally, also marked his first ton in the T20 format.?
Since he was going through a stretch in his international cricketing career at that time, he did not see a century coming and was astonished when he finally hit one. The cricketer revealed that he realised he could hit a century after putting 94 runs on the board. This restored his faith in his abilities, and he reached 100 with a stunning six.?
In that moment of release, the cricketer found himself laughing as he realised how he had been so hard on himself for this. He said, ¡°But the moment I got there, I laughed so hard. Iske liye ro raha tha do saal se.¡± But when he recounted the experience with Anushka Sharma, emotions hit him hard, and the next thing he knew, he was in tears.?
'When I spoke to Anushka, I was in tears'?
¡°That moment happened and ended. The sun was up again the next day; it wasn¡¯t going to be forever. It wasn¡¯t like pausing that moment when I got the hundred and should stay there forever. It was so funny. And, when I spoke to Anushka, I was in tears,¡± he added.

(It is) just the occasion, now or never kind of situation. This was my last T20 game playing for India. We wanted to lift that cup."
