Hours after the match concluded, Anushka also took to her Instagram Stories and wrote a heart-warming note for her husband, Virat Kohli. She called him ‘truly God’s child’ and expressed her gratitude towards God for letting her watch Kohli grow. “God is the best scriptwriter! Utterly grateful to him for blessing me with your love, and to watch you grow from strength to strength and achieve all that you have and will, being honest to yourself and to the sport always.

Virat Kohli broke Sachin Tendulkar’s ODI record with his 50th century at the 2023 World Cup semi-final match. He smashed a ton during the India vs New Zealand match, setting a new record for the highest number of centuries in ODI cricket. Kohli made 106 runs with the help of 8 fours and a six before he got out.
