Surely there have been ups and downs in his career and for the most part of it, as Virat himself says, his wife Anushka Sharma has been with him. He credits his success to Anushka's presence in his life and even changing his thinking.

On an emotional day in Kohli's career where he left the job of the Indian captain, Anushka Sharma has penned down a heartfelt message on social media. 

"I remember the day in 2014 when you told me that you have been made the captain as MS had decided to retire from test cricket. I remember MS, you & I having a chat later that day & him joking about how quickly your beard will start turning grey. We all had a good laugh about it. Since that day, I’ve seen more than just your beard turning grey. I’ve seen growth. Immense growth," Anushka wrote. 

She added how much Kohli has grown over the years and how he led by an example over the years. Anushka revealed Kohli even had tears in his eyes after some losses. 

"I am so proud of you for not letting anything come in the way of your good intentions. You led by example & gave winning on-field every ounce of your energy to the extent that after some losses I’ve sat next to you with tears in your eyes, while you wondered if there's still something more you could have done. This is who you are & this is what you expected from everyone."
