Virat Kohli`s Adorably Dedicates His 81st International Century To Wife Anushka Sharma
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.
Anushka has consistently stood by my side. She knows everything that goes on behind the scenes—what goes on in the head when you don`t play as well—you make a few mistakes after getting yourself in," Kohli said.

Virat Kohli was seen blowing kisses to his wife sitting in the stands as she gave him a standing ovation. India then declared right away with a lead of 534 runs.
One fan wrote, “He never fails to bring Anushka into any conversation. Ahhhh, where do we find a man like him?” while another commented, “You blame her for his poor performance; he credits her for his best performance.”
