Virat Kohli celebrated his 81st international century by dedicating it to his wife Anushka Sharma. Fans praised his consistent mentions of her.

Indian cricket superstar Virat Kohli dedicated his long-awaited 81st international century to his wife, actor Anushka Sharma, after seeking her understanding and support amid very difficult struggles with his form. With the second Test century after more than 500 days, Virat finally roared back to form in a territory where he thrives the most – Australia, breaking several records and adding plenty to his legacy as a visiting batter.

What did Virat think about Anushka

Speaking after the century with Adam Gilchrist, Virat 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. 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.”

Fan’s Reactions

Another sweet talk by Virat about his wife earned him the ‘green flag’ tag once more at social media. Fans loved the fact that he never forgets to mention her. “He never fails to bring Anushka into any conversation. Ahhhh where do we find a man like himmm,” was one fan’s reaction. Another highlighted how things have changed drastically after Anushka was blamed for underperformance of Virat. “You blame her for his poor performance, he credits her for his best performance.”

Another joked, “Mard apni pasandida aurat ka naam japna nahi bhoolta (a man never misses chanting his favorite woman’s name).” “I love how he always subtly replies to his trolls,” commented another.

About Virat’s Performance

Virat struck unbeaten 100 from 143 balls comprising of eight fours and two sixes. His runs were scored at a strike rate of 69.93. Even after the century, Virat threw a glance of relief around him raising his bat above his head.

This is the first Test century for Virat in SENA (South Africa, England, New Zealand, Australia) since his century against Australia in December 2018 also came at Perth.

Virat Kohli is currently playing the first test match of the Border Gavaskar Trophy 2024 tournament at Optus Stadium in Perth, Australia. On Day 3 of the match on Sunday, the former captain scored his 30th test century in style, silencing his critics.

As he reached his century in the 135th over with a full delivery from Marnus Labuschagne, the entire stadium, including his wife Anushka Sharma, cheered for him. Virat waved to the entire crowd in joy and gratitude. But internet’s favourite husband did not forget to blow kisses to a visibly emotional Anushka, first with his century-scoring bat and then some more.

India responded strongly by declaring with a scorecard of 487/6, with a lead of 534 runs.
Right after the century, Virta spoke with former Australian cricketer Adam Gilchrist about Anushka’s influence in his life. Crediting her for being by his side through everything, Virat said, “Anushka has been right by my side through thick and thin.

So she knows everything that goes on behind the scenes, when I am in the room, what goes on in the head, when you don’t play well, you make a few mistakes, when you are getting yourself in.” He also expressed that he was performing for his team and country and added that the presence of Anushka does make a special match even more special. “I just wanted to contribute to the team’s cause, you know I am not a guy who wants to hang around just for a sake of it. He takes pride in performing for his country and just feels amazing, the fact that she is here makes it even more special,” he concluded.

The actor was photographed in the stands during the ongoing Test match between India and Australia at Optus Stadium, Perth. Anushka kept her look very simple in a white T-shirt teamed with denims. Several photos and videos from the stadium featuring the actor have surfaced on social media.
