“We all were so happy when you met Anushka. The one season before you guys met, we hit about one billion balls in the net. Now, at least there is someone who can keep him away from cricket for a change.

“You always had me prove at the long cover, as you want to practice playing some balls and I was like this guy is never going to stop. Then Anushka came in - and now there is a bit of balance - there is a bit of patience, we have chat, we have lunch at restaurants - we still hit a lot of cricket balls, but there is a balance now,” he said.

Kohli added that Anushka's company changed his life. “The passion is always going to be there but when you find a life partner who is just meant to be for you, things fall into perspective by themselves."

He also spoke about the importance of love in life and how he is grateful to find Anushka. “You start believing it’s just not about being obsessed about one thing in life. It’s a good thing to be passionate, but love has to be the most important thing in life, and everything else follows,” he said.

“Everything has to run in balance. I am grateful I found her, she found me. It was meant to be."
