Anushka Sharma showers praises on hubby Virat Kohli
After Virat Kohli stepped down as India's Test captain after leading the side for seven years, his wife and actor Anushka Sharma penned a note that states how proud she is of his growth.
Taking to her Instagram handle on Sunday, Anushka Sharma shared pictures of Virat Kohli and recalled how his journey began in 2014. She wrote, "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."
Anushka wrote about how she has observed his "immense growth".

"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. Around you & within you. And yes, I am very proud of your growth as the captain of the Indian National Cricket team & what achievements the team had under your leadership. But I'm more proud of the growth you achieved within you," she added.
The actor-producer did not skip mentioning the challenges he had faced, on and off-field.
She shared, "In 2014 we were so young & naive. Thinking that just good intentions, positive drive & motives can take you ahead in life. They definitely do but, not without challenges. A lot of these challenges that you faced were not always on the field. But then, this is life right? It tests you in places where you least expect it to but where you need it the most."
