Virat Anushka: Commentator Ravi Shastri has said that Anushka Sharma has been a big supporter of Virat Kohli. He has told how Virat has played whenever she has been in the match.
Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli have had a great relationship for years. Anushka Sharma is a great admirer of cricketer Virat Kohli. Their relationship is based on respect and love. Anushka Sharma is believed to have an effect on the life of Virat Kohli. When India beat New Zealand on 9th March 2025 during the Champions Trophy, Anushka Sharma was embraced by Virat Kohli. Anushka Sharma used to motivate and encourage even prior to getting married to him.
Ravi Shastri, in an interview to Fox Cricket, recollected how his Indian team was on a tour to Australia in 2014-15. Ravi mentioned that Anushka was dating Virat Kohli during that time. Ravi asked us to allow Anushka to accompany him on the tour. There was a BCCI rule during that time that only the wives could accompany the cricketers, not girlfriends. Shastri stepped into the matter and made the necessary calls. From there, he assured Anushka would accompany Virat.
Ravi Shastri's decision brought about a big change. When Anushka accompanied Virat, Virat played very well. Virat scored 160 runs in the Melbourne Test. To express his happiness, Virat sent a flying kiss to Anushka. Virat showed that Virat was able to play well because of Anushka's support.
