Anushka Sharma, Virat Kohli's wife posted an adorable note for Kohli. "I remember MS (Dhoni), you and I having a chat later that day and him joking about how quickly your beard will start turning grey. We all had a good laugh about it. Since that day, I’ve seen more than just your beard turning grey. I’ve seen growth. Immense growth," she said in the post on Instagram.
"You led by example and gave winning on field every ounce of your energy to the extent that after some losses I’ve sat next to you with tears in your eyes, while you wondered if there's still something more you could have done. This is who you are and this is what you expected from everyone. You've been unconventional and straightforward," she added.
