After the match, Anushka wrote to Kohli on Instagram, ‘You are beautiful! You are really beautiful! Today you have put a smile on the face of the whole country. On the eve of Diwali, the whole country is smiling only for you. You are awesome my dear, you are a wonderful man. Your persistence, devotion, and faith are incredible! I saw my best match today.”

Virat’s wife then wrote, “Our daughter is too young to understand why her mother is screaming and dancing like crazy. But one day he will realize that his father played the best innings of his life that night, that too after such a difficult chapter in his life. But those difficulties made him stronger and more experienced!”
