Anushka Sharma, a Bollywood star, celebrated her husband Virat Kohli’s 35th birthday (Sunday, November 5) right before the 2023 World Cup matchup. This was between India and South Africa at Kolkata’s Eden Gardens.
This 35-year-old actress posted unique snapshots of the famous cricketer on social media. She wrote a personalized note for the cricketer, born in Delhi. Plus, she highlighted his exceptional T20Is bowling performance.
Notably, Virat Kohli is the only cricketer in T20I history to have taken a wicket off the zeroeth ball, when former India captain MS Dhoni bowled out England great Kevin Pietersen off a wide delivery in 2011.
On Instagram, Anushka wrote:
“He is literally EXCEPTIONAL in every role in his life! But somehow continues to add more feathers to his glorious hat. I love YOUUU through this life and beyond and endlessly so, in every shape, form, through it all, whatever it may be so.”

Virat Kohli was moved by the gesture and responded with facepalm, heart, and dancing emojis in the comments section.
Just to clarify, the pair said “I do” following many years together. Their wedding took place on December 11, 2017. Then, on January 11, 2021, they became parents for the first time.
Recently, during World Cup 2023, Anushka was spotted. She was at the India vs Pakistan game at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. India claimed that match with a seven-wicket win.
