Indian cricket star Virat Kohli credited his wife, actress Anushka Sharma, for the team’s triumph in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024, declaring it wouldn’t have been possible without her support. The Men in Blue clinched their second World Cup title by defeating South Africa by seven runs in a thrilling final, reminiscent of their inaugural victory over Pakistan in 2007.
In a heartfelt Instagram post following the historic win, Kohli expressed gratitude to Anushka, emphasizing her pivotal role in his life and career: “None of this would remotely be possible without you my love. You keep me humble and grounded and you always say it how it is with absolute honesty.”
The victory marked a significant moment for Kohli, who also announced his retirement from Twenty20 cricket on the same day as his final match in the tournament. Reflecting on his decision, Kohli remarked, “This was my last T20 World Cup, and this is what we wanted to achieve. One day you feel you can’t get a run, and then things happen. God is great, and I got the job done for the team on the day it mattered.”
Kohli’s retirement from T20 cricket marks the end of an era for Indian cricket, celebrated with the backdrop of a memorable World Cup triumph under his leadership.
