Apart from his wife Anushka Sharma and family members, if there is one person who has remained faithful to him, it is former Indian captain M.S. Virat Kohli excitedly said that it was Dhoni.
Indian cricketer Virat Kohli was struggling to score thousands of centuries in international cricket until a few months ago.
His batting was criticized. Ever since he relinquished the captaincy, he has been criticized for being on the wrong side of things. But he didn’t listen to all this and came through hard training. Virat regained his lost form as a result and scored his maiden T20I century against Afghanistan in the Asia Cup.
Kohli scored 2 centuries against Sri Lanka last month. After Sachin Tendulkar’s feat of scoring 100 centuries, Virat Kohli has now surpassed Ricky Ponting for the most centuries in the world.
Before September 2022, he was at the bottom of his lifetime cricket form. All questions arose whether Virat Kohli is needed in the team. Has been erratic in all formats, runs are not coming from his bat. Finally he took a month off from cricket and returned refreshed to spend time with his family.
After that, Virat became the chase king again with a series of Asia Cup T20 century and then the winning innings with that magnificent six against Pakistan in the T20 World Cup.
In this case, when he was interviewed on behalf of the RCB team, he described the path he went through during the difficult time. He then said, “The interesting thing is that Anushka was a big strength for me. Wife Anushka Sharma is my strength.
My wife has been my comfort through this whole difficult time. Anushka was the one who saw from close quarters how I felt at those times and how what happened to me affected me. MS Dhoni was the only person who really connected with me apart from my childhood coach, my family,” Kohli said with a touch of emotion.
