If the saying "love never felt so good" had a human representation, it would be this dynamic duo: cricket sensation Virat Kohli and the actor Anushka Sharma, affectionately known as #Virushka. The duo, often hailed as one of the most celebrated couples on and off-screen, has shattered the myth of choosing between a thriving career and love. Together, they've proven that, with your biggest cheerleader and confidant by your side, conquering the world is not just a possibility but a beautiful reality.
In a recent display of their bond, Virat celebrated his long-awaited 81st international century with a heartfelt dedication to Anushka. In a candid conversation post-match, Virat expressed gratitude for her unwavering support during his challenging phases, highlighting her role in helping him navigate tough times.
Marking his first Test century in over 500 days, Virat reclaimed his form in Australia, a venue where he has consistently excelled. The milestone not only broke his prolonged dry spell but also reinforced his legacy as one of the finest visiting batters in Australian conditions.

Speaking to Adam Gilchrist after his innings, Virat shared how crucial Anushka’s support has been during his journey. He said, “Anushka has been right by my side through thick and thin. She knows everything that goes on behind the scene, what goes on in the head when you don't play as well, you make a few mistakes after getting yourself in.”
He added, "I just wanted to contribute to the team's cause, I do not want to hang around just for the sake of it, I take pride in performing for the country. Feels amazing, the fact that she is here makes it more special."
Earlier, in November 2023, just a year ago, the Indian cricket team lost to Australia in the ICC World Cup Final at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Kohli, who was named the player of the tournament for his stupendous runs, was named as the top-scoring batter, but that wasn't enough for him to get his hands on the trophy. Anushka Sharma was seen hugging husband and cricketer Virat Kohli near the stands.
In 2015, when India faced defeat against Australia, the internet was ready to bash Anushka for Virat's performance. Instead of letting the storm of criticism break them, Virat held Anushka's hand, walked out of the airport, and showed the world that they stand united in every dark time amidst the world of trolling.
Fast forward to November 15, 2023, on the evening of the semi-final between India and New Zealand, Anushka, clapping the loudest in the stadium, witnessed Virat living one of the most precious moments of his life, proving that they've come a long way together.
