Virat Kohli and wife Anushka Sharma’s gesture towards Indian pacers will melt your heart!
Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma or ‘Virushka’ are celebrating their wedding anniversary today and are traveling with the Indian team from Adelaide to Perth for India’s next Test match. Former English cricketer Michael Vaughan saw something that will definitely melt your heart. Virat and Anushka sacrificed their business class seats for the Indian pacer while traveling.
Michael in a Tweet wrote that, “witnessed @imVkohli and his wife gave up their Business class seats to allow the Quicks more comfort and space on the trip from Adelaide – Perth !! Danger Australia .. Not only are the quicks more relaxed .. The skipper is managing his troops with great human touches #AUSvIND ”.
This was really a nice gesture from the Indian skipper, no wonder the respect for him only grows in the eyes of his teammates. Indian bowlers bowled a total of 218.3 overs with R Ashwin bowled the most by sending down 86.5 while the three pacers shared 132 overs among themselves. The Indian skipper also credited the Test win to the Indian bowlers in a post-match press conference.
