Anushka Sharma posted a heartfelt message for husband Virat Kohli after the ace cricketer announced his retirement from Test cricket on May 12, 2025. Hours after Virat called time on his Test career, Anushka's message was made in the midst of the harsh remarks she was getting on social media.
After winning the T20 World Cup, Virat Kohli retired from T20Is last year, but he is anticipated to play in the one-day format, much like Test captain Rohit, who retired from red-ball cricket last week.
Kohli ended his 14-year Test career with 9230 runs in 123 Tests at an average of 46.85. He scored 30 fifties and 31 half-centuries with a best score of 254*. He captained India in 68 Tests, winning 40 of them, including the first-ever Test series win in Australia in 2018-19.
Amidst this, Anushka Sharma took to Instagram and posted a lovely note for Virat Kohli, congratulating him for an excellent career.
"They’ll talk about the records and the milestones — but I’ll remember the tears you never showed, the battles no one saw, and the unwavering love you gave this format of the game. I know how much all this took from you. After every Test series, you came back a little wiser, a little humbler — and watching you evolve through it all has been a privilege. Somehow, I always imagined you’d retire international cricket in whites — But you’ve always followed your heart, and so I just want to say my love, you’ve earned every bit of this goodbye," she wrote.
