India captain Virat Kohli credited wife Anushka Sharma for changing him as a person and for being able to see different perspectives. In a conversation with India teammate Mayank Agarwal on "Open Nets with Mayank", Virat Kohli spoke about Anushka Sharma and said, "I give Anushka full credit for making me see a different side of things altogether. I'm so grateful that Anushka is my life partner as she made me realise a lot of things that are to do with the larger picture. My responsibility as a player, my responsibility with who I am today, what that brings along with it. Setting an example for people in the right manner. All these things have come from Anushka".
Virat Kohli also said, "If I hadn't met Anushka I might not have changed as I was not an open person and was very rigid and she's made me change as a person for good".
Last week, in the first part of Mayank Agarwal's online chat show, Virat Kohli had revealed that he baked a cake for Anushka on her birthday.
