Mumbai: Soon after ace Indian cricketer Virat Kohli announces his retirement from Test cricket, his fans started trolling his wife Anushka Sharma, suggesting that she had influenced his decision.
Anushka, who has faced such trolls before also, shared a heartfelt message for her husband.
“They’ll talk about the records and the milestones — but I’ll remember the tears you never showed, the battles no one saw, and the unwavering love you gave this format of the game. I know how much all this took from you. After every Test series, you came back a little wiser, a little humbler — and watching you evolve through it all has been a privilege,” she shared.
“Somehow, I always imagined you’d retire international cricket in whites — But you’ve always followed your heart, and so I just want to say my love, you’ve earned every bit of this goodbye,” the Bollywood actress added.
Virat responded with heart emojis.

Announcing his retirement, Virat posted, “It’s been 14 years since I first wore the baggy blue in Test cricket. Honestly, I never imagined the journey this format would take me on. It’s tested me, shaped me and taught me lessons I’ll carry for life. As I step away from this format, it’s not easy — but it feels right. I’ve given it everything I had and it’s given me back so much more than I could’ve hoped for.”
Virat had last year retired from T20 Internationals. He will continue to play One-Day Internationals.
