The former Indian head coach Ravi Shastri rides back to the past in 2014 when the then Indian Test captain Virat Kohli asked him if he could bring his girlfriend (then unmarried, Anushka Sharma) to watch the match. After completing his 30th century in international cricket, Virat Kohli blew a kiss to his wife Anushka Sharma in the stands. This incident, which is not so uncommon, has made Ravi Shastri recall his experience in 2014. While speaking to Fox Cricket, Shastri said, "I remember when I was the coach in 2015. He wasn't married then, he was dating Anushka, and he came to me and said that only wives are allowed. Can I get my girlfriend? I said sure. He said the board is not allowing it. So I made the call and she came up and she joined us. In the very first game, in the Boxing Day Test he hit 169. Then the same scenes, the flying kiss went up like yesterday. She is a big support for him." That time Ravi made a call for Virat Kohli ☎️#Cricket #AUSvIND #RaviShastri #ViratKohli #KingKohli #BrettLee #Foxtel pic.twitter.com/3VO6O99ZxX — Foxtel (@Foxtel) November 25, 2024 Read: 81st international Test century for Virat Kohli, as India declares innings Deja Vu after 10 years In 2014, in the 3rd Test match of the Boxing Day Test at MCG, Kohli scored 169 runs and celebrated it with a flying kiss with his bat to his girlfriend Anushka Sharma, who was cheering for him from the stands.
