Anushka Sharma shared an emotional post for her husband Virat Kohli after India’s second T20 World Cup triumph, calling the batting “my home”. Kohli, who was part of the 2011 ODI World Cup triumph, made his first fifty of this tournament in Saturday’s final against South Africa – a 59-ball 76 with six fours and two sixes that took India to a competitive 176 out of seven. He also announced his retirement from T20 Internationals after guiding the Men in Blue to their second T20 World Cup victory and being named man of the match in Bridgetown, Barbados.
Sharma, who was at home in India cheering on her husband, shared the post on Instagram soon after the team emerged victorious in the thrilling final.
“And… I love this man @viratkohli. So grateful to call him my home – now go have a glass of sparkling water so I can celebrate this!” she captioned the photo of Kohli with the trophy in his hand.
In a separate post, the actor – who shares daughter Vamika (three) and four-month-old son Akaay with the cricketer – congratulated Team India on the remarkable feat.
“Our daughter’s biggest concern was if all the players had someone to hug them after seeing them cry on TV… Yes, my dear, they were hugged by 1.5 billion people. What a phenomenal victory and what a legendary achievement! CHAMPIONS – CONGRATULATIONS!!” Anushka wrote.
