Talking about the history knock by Virat, after scoring the ton, Virat bowed down to Sachin who was there in the stands. He also blew a kiss towards his wife, actress Anushka Sharma who was watching him from the stands and cheering on him loudly. It was epic to witness it live on screens. It would be better for those who witnessed it live from the stands such as Vicky Kaushal, Rajinikanth, Kiara Advani, Sidharth Malhotra, John Abraham and more. Not just celebrities but also famous icons from the sports field such as David Beckham, and Vivian Richards were present at Wankheder to witness Kohli make the century.
Watch this Anushka and Virat video here:
During the post-match presentation, Virat Kohli was asked to describe the moment, the feeling he experienced after breaking Sachin’s record with his 50th ODI century. He gushed about having his life partner, the person he loves the most sitting in the stands and also having his hero right there watching him was the greatest moment for him.
