6 key members who helped Virat Kohli achieve the pinnacle

Wife - Anushka Sharma

Well, Anushka Sharma needs no introduction as she is a heartthrob to millions and one of the most successful actresses in Bollywood. Anushka and Virat started dating each other in 2013 after a Head and Shoulders ad got them together. Anushka would come down to support Virat and he would famously blow kisses to her after a milestone. They had to endure tough times in their relationship in early 2016 and got back together stronger. They eventually tied the knot on December 11, 2017, and are just a few days away from their first wedding anniversary.

Virat has categorically stated Anushka as one of his greatest motivators. Anushka has supported Virat through his tough times by giving him the strength and the necessary will to fight it out. Anushka faced flak from public and media for Kohli's failures in 2015 and she maintained a dignified silence. Virat has stated that Anushka has made him more spiritual and focused and saves him from unnecessary distractions related to social media.

Virat has tasted phenomenal success in cricket after marriage and Anushka should be credited for this, to keep him in a good space. She balances her shooting assignments well to spend quality time with Virat during the tours. Whenever Kohli scores a hundred, he shows his engagement ring as a tribute and an unflinching love for his wife. She has mentioned in her interviews that she is married to the best man in the world.

With Anushka by his side, Virat will be turning a few more stones into milestones. Any ardent Indian fan would hope that Anushka provides the much-needed luck to Virat in the upcoming Test series against Australia in 2018-19 as a batsman and more-so as a captain.
