Anushka Sharma Joins Virat Kohli For His 100th Test Match Felicitation, Fans Call Them 'King And Queen'!
Kohli's moment of glory became more wholesome as his wife and actor-producer Anushka Sharma joined him. Photos from the felicitation ceremony have surfaced online.
Senior India batter Virat Kohli said he had never thought he would play 100 Test matches for India in a long journey of playing the longest format of the game.
Kohli made his Test debut against the West Indies in 2011, making just 4 and 15. However, his low-key debut paved the path for achieving 7962 runs in 99 matches at an average of 50.39, including seven double centuries.
Before the match began, Kohli was felicitated by the BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India).
Kohli's moment of glory became more wholesome as his wife and actor-producer Anushka Sharma joined him.
Photos from the felicitation ceremony have surfaced online, and Anushka could be seen cheering for Kohli while he was honored.
Anushka stood by husband Virat as he received the special blue cap to commemorate his 100th test match.
Despite all the flak that Anushka receives, the undeniable fact remains that she has always been a supportive wife.
Be it their public appearances or social media posts, and they have always supported and celebrated each other's professional achievements.
As soon as the photos surfaced on the internet, fans wrote heartfelt messages for their beloved 'Virushka.'

Calling Anushka a ¡°pillar of strength,¡± Kohli spoke about her influence on his life.
He thanked her for changing him ¡°for all the right reasons¡± and helping him evolve as a person.
BCCI's social media accounts shared Virat's statement. He was quoted as saying,
¡°Anushka (Sharma) has been a huge, huge influence in my life. Not just you know, eventually the influence in your life that filters down to your game because your game is part of life. I have become a completely changed man for all the right reasons. I have evolved in the right way. I am very, very grateful and thankful to God to have a life partner like her, and she¡¯s been an absolute pillar of strength for me."
Friday's Test match against Sri Lanka at the IS Bindra PCA Stadium will mark Kohli the 12th Indian and 71st cricketer overall to achieve the landmark.
Kohli joins an elite list featuring Sunil Gavaskar, Dilip Vengsarkar, Kapil Dev, Sachin Tendulkar, Anil Kumble, Rahul Dravid Sourav Ganguly, VVS Laxman, Virender Sehwag, Harbhajan Singh, and Ishant Sharma to play 100 Tests for the country.
