Anushka and Virat married in December 2017. They had reportedly first met while shooting for a shampoo ad in 2013. Over the next couple of years, the two kept their relationship secret but were often spotted together in public.

In a recent interview, Kohli on AB Devilliers’ YouTube channel called ‘ThreeSixty’, revealed a hilarious story of his text message to the Bollywood actress and his wife, Anushka Sharma, before the couple started dating.

The former Indian skipper felt awkward about the text message he sent to her-

“It was not like we started dating immediately. We spoke for a long time. I thought I was dating her already. We had hung out for a few months and I remember, one day I sent her this message,” he stated to his good friend and former South African batter AB de Villiers.

Star Indian batter has already revealed his nervous first meeting with the Bollywood actress and his wife when Kohli has to shoot an advertisement with Anuska in his first meeting.

‘When I used to be single, I used to do this and that..’ She is like ‘What do you mean you used to be?’. I had already decided in my mind that we were dating. That was again a little awkward. But then eventually, she found me to be a decent guy,” he further added on a lighter note.

While the Indian ace batter’s wife has been the constant support for him in his failure and success, the 34-year-old was struggling with the form especially after 2019, when he went past more than three years without a Test ton, but he accompanied Anushka in the different temple, it is said that the right-handed batter gained mental composure to be back on the field after that, finally, in the recently concluded Border Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) 2023, Virat scored his 28 Test 100 in the four test match.

Now, India will take on Australia (IND vs AUS) for the third and final ODI, the series is level on 1-1 and Kohli got out cheaply in both games at Mumbai and Vizag, so Rohit Sharma-led side will be hoping for their star batter to deliver on the big game on March 22 at Chennai.
