Virat Kohli roared back in form with a glorious Test century after over 500 days in a territory he thrives in the most, Australia. He broke several records and added many more feathers to his already crowded hat as a visiting batsman.

After achieving his long-awaited 81st international century, the Indian cricket icon dedicated the milestone to his wife and actress, Anushka Sharma. He also acknowledged her unconditional support "through thick and thin" while he struggled with his form.

For the uninitiated, Virat Kohli was going through a rough phase with his performance on pitches that left his fans disappointed. While some criticised his choice of shots, Anushka Sharma had total faith in him.

Speaking about his glorious century with Adam Gilchrist post the match, the former Indian skipper credited his lady love, subtly shutting all the trolls targeting the actress for his lack of form.

Anushka has consistently stood by my side. She knows everything that goes on behind the scenesmdashwhat goes on in the head when you don't play as wellmdashyou make a few mistakes after getting yourself in," Kohli said.
