Taking to her Instagram handle, Anushka shared a post with a lengthy caption, expressing her emotions as her husband and cricketer Virat Kohli announces retirement. She wrote that while everyone will talk about his records and milestones, she'll remember his tears that he didn't show his fans, his battles they never saw and his unwavering love for the Test format. "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 continued.

She signed off by writing, "Somehow, I always imagined you’d retire international cricket in whites — But you’ve always followed your heart, and so I just want to say my love, you’ve earned every bit of this goodbye."

Soon after she shared the post, Virat was quick to react with heart emoticons.
