Bollywood actress-producer Anushka Sharma has left a heartwarming post for her husband, cricket giant Virat Kohli, on social media after India clinched their second T20 World Cup title on Saturday.
Anushka took to Instagram to share a picture where Kohli is seen wrapped up in the tricolour with the World Cup in his hand.
The popular B-Town actress wrote with a kissing emoticon, “AND ….. I love this man @virat.kohli. So grateful to call you my home – now go have a glass of sparkling water for me to celebrate this!”
Immediately after clinching the final victory at Barbados in West Indies, Kohli was spotted video calling his family from the ground.
Kohli, who was awarded the Player of the Match for his vital 76-run knock in the final against South Africa, also announced his retirement from T20I cricket on Saturday.
“This was my last T20 World Cup, this is exactly what we wanted to achieve. It’s been a long wait for us, waiting to win an ICC tournament,” said the former India captain.
In the final match, which was almost in South Africa’s grip, India’s premier fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah, all-rounder Hardik Pandya, and a stunning catch by Suryakumar Yadav pulled things back for the Men-in-Blue.
With the back against the wall, the Rohit Sharma-led side came back strongly to upset all plans of South Africa and clinched a 7-run win.
