Anushka Sharma recalls when Virat Kohli was made the captain as he steps down as Test captain: You did good

On Saturday, Indian cricketer Virat Kohli left everyone shocked when he announced that he has resigned himself as Test Captain. As soon as he stepped down from his captaincy, his loyal fans were completely heartbroken. Now, his wife and actor Anushka Sharma took to her Instagram and penned a long emotional note, recalling his journey, recalling the time when he was made the captain in 2014 and how she and Virat along with former skipper MS Dhoni were discussing this moment. In the note, the actor mentioned she feels extremely proud of how Virat has grown over the years, during his tenure as the captain.

Anushka started her note by saying, “I remember the day in 2014 when you told me that you have been made the captain as MS had decided to retire from test cricket. I remember MS, you & I having a chat later that day & 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. Around you & within you. And yes, I am very proud of your growth as the captain of the Indian National Cricket team & what achievements the team had under your leadership. But I’m more proud of the growth you achieved within you.”

Sharma praised Kohli for facing challenges not just in fields but in his life. “You led by example & 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 & this is what you expected from everyone. You’ve been unconventional & straightforward,” another part of her note read.

The Zero actor praised him for taking a bold and difficult step in his life. Calling Virat ‘limitless’, Anushka further said, “What you did was to always stand up for doing the right thing, the harder thing, always! You held on to nothing with greed, not even this position & I know that. Because when one holds on to something so tightly they limit themselves & you, my love, are limitless.”

She even mentioned their daughter Vamika will witness his learnings now. “Our daughter will see the learning of these 7 years in the father that you are to her. You did good,” Anushka concluded.
