The long wait is finally over.

Soon after, Anushka Sharma made her way to the middle. Virat Kohli ran towards her to give her a big warm hug.

After winning the IPL, Virat Kohli also spoke about how Anushka Sharma has been a constant pillar of support for the cricketer, standing beside him through thick and thin.
Speaking to Star Sports, Virat Kohli said, “It’s been 11 years for her as well, you know. Relentlessly coming to games, watching tough games, watching us just miss out. What your life partner does for you to be able to play, and the sacrifices, and the commitment, and just backing you through thick and thin, is something you can’t explain in words.”
“Only when you play professionally, you understand the amount of things that go on behind the scenes, and what they go through as well,” he added.
It must be mentioned that Anushka Sharma originally hails from Bengaluru and she has been a long-time supporter of the franchise. Her support started way before her marrying Virat Kohli.
Speaking further, he said, “What Anushka has gone through emotionally, watching me, being down and out, her coming to games, being so connected with Bangalore, she’s a Bangalore girl as well, and being connected to RCB, this is very, very special for her as well, and she’s going to be so, so proud.”
For the unversed, Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma started dating in 2013 after meeting during a commercial shoot. The duo tied the knot in December 2017. The couple is proud parents to two kids, daughter Vamika and son Akaay.
