Anushka pens heartfelt tribute to Virat after latter resigns as India’s Test captain

The actor honoured the cricketer’s journey so far, expressing pride in his growth

Actor Anushka Sharma took to Instagram to share an adorable photo with her husband, cricketer Virat Kohli, along with a heartfelt note after the latter announced his resignation from India’s Test cricket captaincy.

Taking a trip down memory lane, Anushka wrote, “I remember the day in 2014 when you told me that you have been made the captain as MS [Dhoni] had decided to retire from test cricket. I remember MS, you and I having a chat later that day and him joking about how quickly your beard will start turning grey. We all had a good laugh about it. Since that day, I’ve seen more than just your beard turning grey. I’ve seen growth. Immense growth. Around you and within you."

She continued, "And yes, I am very proud of your growth as the captain of the Indian National Cricket team and what achievements the team had under your leadership. But I’m more proud of the growth you achieved within you.”

Honouring the cricketer’s journey so far, the actor penned, “My love, I am so proud of you for not letting anything come in the way of your good intentions. You led by example and gave winning on [the] field every ounce of your energy to the extent that after some losses I’ve sat next to you with tears in your eyes, while you wondered if there's still something more you could have done. This is who you are and this is what you expected from everyone.” 

Anushka concluded the note by saying, “What you did was to always stand up for doing the right thing, the harder thing, always! You held on to nothing with greed, not even this position, and I know that. Because when one holds on to something so tightly they limit themselves and you, my love, are limitless. Our daughter will see the learning of these 7 years in the father that you are to her. You did good.”
