Every cricketing expert and die-hard Virat Kohli fan knows he wears his heart on his sleeve. The passion, aggression, and ferocious intensity he brings are second to none. In his lowest time also, the star batter refused to budge from this characteristic that has come to define him as the person he is to Indian cricket, as well as the global superstar. However, there are some moments in Kohli's cricketing journey that only very few know. His better half, Anushka Sharma, is the one who has been able to witness Kohli's highs and lows.
Two days after Kohli announced his decision to retire from Test cricket, his wife Anushka shared a lovely and adorable post for the legendary batter on Instagram Story, highlighting what made the 36-year-old crack the code in the longest and most challenging format of the game.
"That's why only those with a story to tell succeed in Test cricket. A story so long and deep that it doesn't care for the pitch conditions - grass, dry, home, or away," Anushka's story read.
The story was first shared by comedian Varun Grover, who paid a fitting tribute to Virat Kohli.

Like many former cricketers, the Bollywood actress also paid a rich and fitting tribute to Kohli after he announced his retirement from Test cricket on May 12. The 36-year-old ends his Test career with 9230 runs, with an average of 46.85 from 123 Tests.
"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 captioned her picture with Kohli.
