Star batter Virat Kohli has always been vocal about his wife and actor Anushka Sharma's valuable contribution to his personal and professional life. As his team, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), clinched their maiden Indian Premier League (IPL) title on Tuesday night against Punjab Kings (PBKS) at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Kohli not only expressed gratitude to his teammates but also credited Anushka for her unwavering support throughout his IPL journey spanning over a decade.

Virat Kohli says this moment is special for Anushka as well

Speaking to broadcasters after the historic win, Kohli said, "Watching us just miss out. What your life partner does for you to be able to play -- the sacrifices, the commitment, and just backing you through thick and thin -- is something you can't explain in words."
