‘You never showed tears’: Anushka Sharma’s emotional farewell for Virat Kohli will break your heart. Cricket news

New Delhi: Virat Kohli’s wife and acclaimed actress Anushka Sharma on Monday shared a deep emotional message on social media after the announcement of Kohli’s retirement from Test cricket. Kohli brought the curtain down to a 14 -year -long red ball career, depicting 123 trials since making his debut against the West Indies in 2011. After the retirement of Sachin Tendulkar in 2013, Kohli’s batting for the longest time emerged mainly.Anushka shared a heartfelt photo with her husband on Instagram and wrote, “They will talk about the record and milestone – but I remember none of the tears you showed, not seen the fight, and the unwavering love that you gave to this format of the game. I know how much it was taken to you,” Anushka wrote on her husband with her husband.“After every test series, you are a little intelligent, a little humbler – and you have developed through it, all are a privilege,” he said.“Somehow, I always imagined that you will retire international cricket in whites – but you have always followed your heart, and so I just want to say my love, you have earned everything about this goodbye,” he has written in his tribute.Kohli’s decision to retire came even a few days after Rohit Sharma, which got away from Test cricket, left India without his two most senior batsmen before the upcoming tour of England. The five-observance series starts from June 20, and India will now need to appoint a new captain and re-function its batting core.While reflecting his journey, Kohli shared his views in an Instagram post. “As I am away from this format, it’s not easy – but it seems right,” he wrote. “It has been 14 years when I first wore a baggy blue in Test cricket. Honestly, I never imagined that this format would take me. It tested me, gave me shape, and taught me a lesson that I will take for life.”

During his career, the 36 -year -old scored 9,230 runs, including 30 centuries and 31 half -centuries at an average of 46.85 on an average.

In terms of records, Kohli finished his career as India’s fourth largest run-scorer in the trials behind Sachin Tendulkar (15,921), Rahul Dravid (13,265), and Sunil Gavaskar (10,122). He holds the record for hundreds of most doubled by an Indian – seven – more than Tendulkar.Kohli’s legacy as captain is equally important. His 40 Test win is MS Dhoni (27 from 60 tests) and Sourav Ganguly (21 out of 49 tests). Globally, he ranks fourth among the captains with the highest test win behind the Graeme Smith (53), Ricky Ponting (48), and Steve Waugh (41).Under Kohli, India reached the number 1 rankings in Test cricket after MS Dhoni succeeded in 2014-15. The team held that position for almost five years. His crown achievement came in 2018 when he inspired India to win a historic first test series on Australian soil.
