Virat Kohli calls Anushka his “inspiration”, opens about sacrifices she made as a mom

Cricketer Virat Kohli will be eternally grateful to his wife Anushka Sharma for bringing him abundant love. Virat got candid in his recent RCB Podcast with Danish Sait, discussing his personal and professional life in depth. The touching conversation is highlighted by Virat’s remarks about Anushka.

Sharing how he draws strength, and inspiration from Anushka’s motherhood journey, Virat said, “I have gotten a lot of inspiration from home. We have had a child. It has been an unbelievably life-changing and transforming process, for parents yes but for a mother especially. For a mother, it’s life changing completely. And how she has been so strong through it and how she has been able to take all the challenges that have come in her way. And I have seen everything. I have seen the transformation happen. That gave me so much strength and inspiration to say what I am experiencing is not even 5 per cent of what she has gone through.”

“It is selfless, it is unconditional. You also need to put things in the right perspective. You can’t make your issues which seem huge to you in the forefront and make them into something you know catastrophic going on, wherein you realise that this is life. I play a sport, this is my profession but when I see the transformation that happened with her, that for me is life. That for me is far bigger and far, I mean you can’t even put it in the same bracket. It’s not even comparable because it is literally your life being given to another life which has to grow up in front of you,” he added.

Virat and Anushka married on December 11 in Italy, and they are one of the most popular celebrity couples. Vamika was born to the couple on January 11, 2021. In the meantime, Virat Kohli is set to play his 200th international match at home. From Wednesday onwards, India will face Australia in Indore. India leads the four-match Test series 2-0, with the Indian spin trio of Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, and Axar Patel shining brightly for the hosts.

Anushka, on the other hand, recently surprised everyone with her cameo in ‘Qala’. Her appearance in the film was kept a closely guarded secret, and it appears that it has become a major talking point since its release. Anushka will play the iconic Indian pace bowler Jhulan Goswami in the much-anticipated film ‘Chakda Xpress’ in the coming months.
