"Playing Through Sickness...": Anushka Sharma's Heartfelt Post For "Inspiration" Virat Kohli
Anushka Sharma had a special message for Virat Kohli after his century against Australia in Ahmedabad.
Virat Kohli dazzled with a century as India managed to take a 91-run lead against Australia on Day 4 of the ongoing fourth Test in Ahmedabad. Kohli hit a towering 186, missing out in his 8th Test double century by a whisker, as India ended their first innings on 571 as Shreyas Iyer did not walk out to bat due to an injury setback. It was a special knock for Kohli as it was his first century in the format after a gap of more than three years. After reaching the milestone, Kohli dedicated his knock to his wife Anushka Sharma by kissing the wedding ring on his gold chain.
The Man. The Celebration.
