This is one of the biggest accomplishments of Kohli’s career, and it was only fitting that his lady love will accompany him. The two clearly have a huge amount of love and respect for each other that comes across during public appearances, interviews, social media posts, and so on.

“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 as well 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,” Kohli told in an interview shared on BCCI’s social media accounts.

He added, “I know people say this thing a lot but I truly understood the meaning of that when I started evolving when Anushka came into my life. And vice versa. We have both helped each other grow. I wouldn’t have been able to go on with so much composure and so much passion and zeal if it wasn’t for her in my life.”

Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma tied the knot in December 2017. They welcomed Vamika in their lives in January 2021. On the work front, Anushka has been away for a while from acting now but has produced several projects. She was last seen in 2018’s Zero.
